What to know

  • Tesla and Samsung oppose new US tariffs on Vietnam, citing reliance on Vietnamese supply chains and manufacturing that cannot be replicated domestically.
  • The US trade probe, launched in May over alleged IP violations, must conclude by November 29; Vietnam was separately named a "priority foreign country," the first such designation in 13 years.
  • US steel, seafood, plywood, solar panel and wood producers, plus copyright industry groups like the Business Software Alliance and Motion Picture Association, want new penalties on Vietnam.
  • Vietnam's exports to the US surged 42% in the first eight months of 2026, making it the trading partner with the largest US goods surplus, ahead of China and Mexico.
