HANOI (Reuters) -Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said on Saturday the government wanted to rapidly issue a licence for Elon Musk's Starlink to provide satellite internet in the country under a pilot scheme.
Chinh, speaking with nearly 40 U.S. businesses in Hanoi, also said that Vietnam was taking measures to rebalance its trade surplus with the U.S., citing potential imports of aircraft, arms, liquefied natural gas, agriculture goods and pharmaceutical products.
