Vietnam's Economic Vulnerability: Vietnam's exports to the U.S. accounted for 30% of its GDP in the previous year, making it highly susceptible to potential tariffs, especially as it has become a key manufacturing hub for major companies like Samsung and Apple due to the trade war with China.
Trade Surplus and Tariff Risks: The country recorded significant trade surpluses with the U.S., ranking fourth among U.S. partners, but faces scrutiny for high tariff rates and other trade barriers, which could lead to increased tariffs under U.S. policies.
