The US President said the trade deal with China was complete for him and President Xi Jinping to approve.
In the context of globalization and fierce competition, trade policies of major powers can have profound impacts on supply chains and production and export activities. One typical example is former US President Donald Trump's strong tariffs on Chinese goods, which contributed to reducing the US trade deficit by 2,800 billion USD in just 4 years. This story provides many strategic perspectives for Vietnamese enterprises, especially the non-ferrous metal industry - a sector that is heavily dependent on international trade.
Most aluminum and steel sold into the US will be subject to tariffs that will double from June 4, as announced last week by US President Donald Trump.
