HANOI (Reuters): Vietnam stands ready to import more farm products from the United States, according to a statement from trade minister Nguyen Hong Dien on Friday, a day after US President Donald Trump said he would start imposing global reciprocal tariffs.
The South-East Asian export hub, home to manufacturing operations of multinationals including Apple and Samsung, could be hit hard by any new tariffs. Last year, it posted a record US$123.5 billion trade surplus with the US, the largest after China, the European Union and Mexico.
