Latin American news agency Prensa Latina has highlighted Vietnam’s efforts in advancing trade relations with the US, describing the launch of negotiations on a bilateral trade agreement, including tariff issues, as the opening of a “steel door” in Vietnam–US economic and trade ties.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has underscored that negotiations with the US, following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 10% tariff on various trading partners, including Vietnam, with a 90-day delay, must be considered within the broader context of the Vietnam – US relations.
