President Donald Trump has just ordered reciprocal import tariffs on the entire world. All countries are in the "target", especially those that are imposing high tariffs on US goods and have trade surpluses with the US. So what about Vietnam?

With shifting US policies and potential trade risks, Vietnam must take proactive steps to build trust with Washington. Dr. Vu Thanh Tu Anh outlines key measures to secure Vietnam’s recognition as a market economy and avoid economic setbacks.

The Việt Nam SPS Office has reported that some Vietnamese export products failed to meet the EU’s stringent standards.

Japan has asked to be exempted from the so-called reciprocal tariffs that Donald Trump plans to adopt this year as the Asian nation works to minimise any potential fallout.

Despite fluctuations in raw material prices, rising costs, and increasingly fierce competition from other countries, shrimp exports can still contribute over a third of seafood export turnover for Vietnam in 2025, as well as improve its sustainability credentials.

Asean is on track to become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2030, but growth must be inclusive to ensure that all communities benefit, said Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Cambodian and Australian private sectors yesterday signed three memorandums of understanding to promote and facilitate the export of Cambodian products to the Australian market.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, Vietnam’s shrimp exports to this market increased by 69 per cent, reaching a total value of $258 million.

At present, agricultural exports, such as rice, coffee and seafood, have steadily secured a stable place in major global markets.

US Ambassador to Vietnam Marc E. Knapper has affirmed that recent tariff measures were not aimed at Vietnam, adding that the US remains committed to maintaining and ramping up bilateral economic and trade cooperation with the country.
