Vietnam is increasingly caught up in Donald Trump’s protectionist trade policies. The culprit is its trade surplus with the US — on track to reach $50bn this year. In June the US president berated the country for treating it “even worse” than China on trade, and imposed huge tariffs on some of its steel imports. Vietnam responded, like China and the EU before it, by committing to increased purchases of US goods. This commitment was reiterated again recently while Hanoi also joined the US in banning Huawei from supplying 5G telecoms equipment.
越南越來越多地被捲入唐納•川普(Donald Trump)的保護主義貿易政策。罪魁禍首是其對美貿易順差——今年可能達到500億美元。今年6月,美國總統譴責越南在貿易方面「比中國更糟糕」,並對一部分越南輸美鋼材加徵高關稅。就像中國和歐盟之前所做的那樣,越南做出回應,承諾加大力度購買美國商品。這一承諾最近得到重申,同時河內方面還加入美國的陣營,禁止華為(Huawei)供應5G電信設備。
