According to President Donald Trump, Vietnam is open to negotiating tariffs, and even offered to drop tariffs on U.S. goods completely if a deal can be made.
He revealed that this came after a phone call with the general secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party, To Lam.

“Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S.,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
He added, “I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future.”
This is exactly what President Donald Trump is gearing at. Reciprocal tariffs to strong-arm the countries ripping off the United States, and force them to drop their tariffs on us. This is just proof that his tactics are working.
