President Trump held his first formal meeting with Vietnamese Communist Party leader To Lam at the White House on Friday. During their discussion, Trump promised to work toward removing Vietnam from lists that restrict the country's access to advanced American technology.
President Donald Trump held his inaugural face-to-face meeting with Vietnamese Communist Party leader To Lam at the White House on Friday, where he pledged to help lift Vietnam from U.S. lists that limit the nation’s access to advanced American technology, according to details released by Vietnam’s government news outlet.
The historic White House encounter marked the first official in-person discussion between the two leaders, taking place after To Lam participated in Washington’s inaugural Board of Peace gathering.
This diplomatic meeting came on the heels of major commercial agreements totaling more than $30 billion, which will see Vietnamese carriers purchasing 90 planes from American aircraft manufacturer Boeing.
On the same day, Trump revealed plans for an immediate 10% tariff increase on most international imports following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn several of his previous comprehensive tariff policies.
