Gold prices heading for weekly gains; import tariffs on gold bars?
Vietnam is set to engage in talks with the United States over the recently imposed 25% tariffs on its steel exports, Reuters reported.
A spokesperson for the Vietnamese foreign ministry confirmed the country’s readiness for constructive discussions during a regular press conference. The aim is to reduce the risks of additional duties that could negatively impact Vietnam, a key steel exporter to the U.S.
The tariffs, introduced earlier this week by Washington, have placed Vietnam in a difficult position, especially with the possibility of reciprocal duties hinted at by U.S. President Donald Trump. The spokesperson emphasized Vietnam’s commitment to finding mutually beneficial solutions regarding the new tariffs.
Vietnam plans to address the situation directly with the U.S., focusing on resolving the trade issues caused by the tariffs. The foreign ministry’s announcement underscores the country’s proactive approach to managing the trade tensions with Washington through diplomatic channels.
The imposition of these tariffs is a significant concern for Vietnam’s steel industry, which has become a major supplier to the American market. In light of this, the Vietnamese government is seeking to resolve the issue and avoid further trade disputes with the U.S. through dialogue.
Vietnam is taking steps to initiate discussions with the U.S. to address the recent tariffs on steel exports, with the goal of reaching an agreement that benefits both nations’ economic interests.
