US EditionTrump announces Vietnam trade deal, 20% tariff on its imports to U.S.
UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – The deal imposes a 20% tariff on Vietnamese imports and a 40% tariff on transshipped goods while allowing tariff-free access for U.S. exports, aiming to reduce a $104.6 billion trade deficit.
- On July 2, 2025, a trade agreement was reached between the United States and Vietnam that permits American products to enter Vietnam without tariffs, while Vietnamese goods imported into the U.S. are subject to a 20% duty.
- The deal followed a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, including a previously proposed 46% tax on Vietnamese imports, to enable negotiations with Vietnam's Communist Party General Secretary To Lam.
- In 2024, the value of traded goods between the U.S. and Vietnam approached $150 billion, with Vietnam maintaining the third-largest trade surplus with the U.S. after China and Mexico, amid concerns that some Chinese companies may be routing products through Vietnam to bypass U.S. tariffs.
- Wendy Cutler, a former U.S. trade negotiator, noted that Vietnam’s reliance on exports to the U.S. gave America a strong negotiating position, while the administration had yet to make the agreement’s text or further information publicly available at the time of the announcement.
- The agreement signals closer U.S.-Vietnam ties and may promote further trade deals despite uncertainties about tariff specifics and ongoing negotiations on rules of origin, supply chains, and investment.
