Vietnam and US Trade Talks Advance Amid Section 301 Probes
What happened
Vietnam's government stated that a trade agreement with the United States could be signed soon, following a meeting between To Lam and U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer. Greer reported that negotiators from both sides have made substantial progress and are close to a final outcome. To Lam expressed a desire to advance bilateral relations with President Donald Trump’s administration. However, To Lam also called on the U.S. to address outstanding trade issues, including Section 301 investigations against Vietnam.

Why it matters
The talks aim to boost bilateral trade, as Vietnam has sought to increase cooperation and purchases from the U.S. While progress is reported, Vietnam remains subject to Section 301 investigations, which previously led the USTR to threaten tariffs of 10-12.5 percent on several nations.
Bilateral talks between Cambodia and Vietnam are currently aiming to raise trade to US$20 billion.
