U.S. and Vietnam Finalize New Trade Framework

The U.S. and Vietnam have established a new trade agreement framework, with both sides aiming to finalize terms in the coming weeks. The agreement features a 20% U.S. tariff on Vietnamese goods but also explores zero-tariff treatments for certain products. This move signals a shift towards potential economic benefits through reduced tariffs and the removal of non-tariff barriers. While no concrete effects are expected from this agreement on digital asset markets, it could influence manufacturing equities in the long term. The trade framework underscores ongoing efforts to strengthen economic collaboration between the two nations.
