Trump Reduces Tariffs on Vietnam as Trump Organization Looks to Expand Investments

HeadlineJul 03, 2025

President Trump says he’s struck a trade agreement with Vietnam that will see U.S. goods enter the country duty-free. In return, the U.S. will apply a 20% tariff on Vietnamese imports, down from the 46% rate Trump announced in April. The reported deal comes just weeks after the Trump Organization broke ground on a $1.5 billion golf course in Vietnam. Meanwhile, Reuters reports Eric Trump recently visited Ho Chi Minh City to explore plans to build a Trump-branded skyscraper.
