Media: Vietnam hopes that the US can postpone the implementation of the tariff by 45 days.
Vietnam has requested the US to postpone the 46% import tariff that was supposed to be implemented on Vietnam on April 9th "for at least 45 days".
Recent reports from US media have indicated that due to the severe imbalance in trade benefits between the two countries, the US leadership may impose an import tariff on Vietnamese goods. On Friday, US President Donald Trump stated that he had a phone conversation with Vietnamese leaders and looked forward to meeting them in the near future. CNN reported on Saturday that Trump held talks with representatives from Vietnam, India, and Israel regarding the tariffs recently imposed on imported goods.
Agence France-Presse pointed out that Vietnamese leaders appealed in their letter for Trump to appoint representatives himself to work with Vietnam's Deputy Prime Minister on issues related to tariffs. According to AFP's report, Vietnamese leaders also expressed hope that they could meet with Trump in Washington in late May.
