(Breitbart)—President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that the United States has reached a new trade agreement with Vietnam, outlining key terms that would impose a 20 percent tariff on Vietnamese goods, a 40 percent tariff on transshipped products, and full tariff-free access for American exports to the Vietnamese market.
The deal, unveiled just days before a 90-day suspension of the administration’s reciprocal tariffs was set to expire, appears to formalize elements of Trump’s longstanding push to balance trade relationships by linking tariff rates to trade imbalances.
In a follow-up message posted on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said the agreement followed a conversation with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Trump described To Lam as “highly respected” and called the exchange “an absolute pleasure.”
According to the post, Vietnam has agreed to a 20 percent tariff on all goods it exports to the U.S. and a 40 percent tariff on goods transshipped through Vietnam from other countries, a practice that has drawn increasing scrutiny from U.S. trade officials.
In return, the United States will be granted full access to Vietnam’s markets with zero tariffs on U.S. goods, a concession Trump described as unprecedented. “Vietnam will do something that they have never done before, give the United States of America TOTAL ACCESS to their Markets,” the former president wrote.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
