US says Vietnam's currency actions 'unreasonable' but holds off on tariffs


WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (Reuters): President Donald Trump's administration on Friday (jan 15) said Vietnam's actions to push down the value of its currency are "unreasonable" and restrict US commerce, but did not take immediate action to impose punitive tariffs.

Releasing the results of its so-called Section 301 investigation into Vietnam's currency practices, the US Trade Representative's (USTR) office said it would continue to evaluate all available options to correct the situation.
