U.S. President Trump announced that the United States and Vietnam have reached a new trade agreement.

According to this agreement, Vietnam will pay a 20% tariff on goods entering the U.S., and if the goods are transshipped from other countries to the U.S., the tariff will be 40%.

In return, Vietnam will allow U.S. goods to enter the Vietnamese market more easily, and U.S. goods entering Vietnam will not have to pay tariffs.

Trump said that this way, American cars, such as SUVs, can be sold in Vietnam.

In recent years, the amount of goods Vietnam sells to the U.S. has been increasing, while the goods the U.S. sells to Vietnam are relatively few.

The U.S. is also worried that some Chinese goods are entering the U.S. through Vietnam to avoid tariffs.

Currently, the specific details of this new agreement have not been made public.
