Vietnam’s US trade surplus jumps 18%, raising Trump tariff risk


HANOI (Bloomberg): Vietnam’s trade surplus with the US widened to US$123.5 billion last year, making the manufacturing powerhouse a potential prime target for President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The Southeast Asian nation’s trade gap rose 18% compared to the previous year, according to US Census Bureau data. That gives it the third-highest surplus that any country has with the US, behind China and Mexico.
