South-East Asia rushes to avert tariff pain by enticing Trump


SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Countries in South-East Asia, major sources of exports to the US, are angling to accommodate President Donald Trump rather than retaliate against his punishing tariffs, seeking to keep exports flowing to one of their biggest markets. 

Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia have said in recent days that they’re open to negotiations over the "reciprocal tariffs” Trump announced this week, while Singapore, a finance and trade hub, said it didn’t plan to strike back.
