HANOI: The United States has told Vietnam its trade deficit with the South-East Asian country is "unsustainable" and a major concern, Vietnamese state media reported on Friday (May 16), as the two countries hold negotiations on tariffs.
Vietnam has been holding talks with the US, its largest export market, to persuade the US President Donald Trump's administration to take a benign view of its huge trade surplus with America, after Trump in April announced a "reciprocal" tariff rate of 46% on Vietnamese goods, to take effect in July.
