Trump announces Vietnam trade deal, 20% tariff on its imports to U.S.

  • On July 2, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Vietnam will impose a 20% tariff on its exports to the U.S. while the U.S. grants Vietnam tariff-free market access.
  • Ahead of the July 9 deadline, U.S. pressure to curb transshipment led Vietnam to agree on stricter measures to avoid a threatened 46% tariff, according to sources.
  • Sources confirm Vietnam will impose a 20% tariff on all exports and a 40% tariff on transshipped goods, with U.S. market access granted tariff-free, though exact announcement details remain unconfirmed.
  • Market reactions remain uncertain as stocks of apparel, footwear, and auto sectors showed initial gains but declined after tariff details were released, indicating mixed investor sentiment.
  • Analysts warn that the U.S.–Vietnam trade pact, which imposes a 20% tariff and risks losing a significant portion of Vietnam’s $123 billion exports, could shape future U.S. trade agreements.
