Trump to Remove Vietnam from Restricted US Tech List
\nPresident Donald Trump announced plans to remove Vietnam from a list that limits its access to advanced U.S. technologies, according to an announcement from the Vietnamese government. This significant development follows a meeting between Trump and Vietnam’s Communist Party chief, To Lam, at the White House.
\n\nStrengthening Economic Ties
\nDuring their first in-person meeting, which occurred on February 20, 2026, Trump expressed his support for enhanced economic, scientific, and technological cooperation between the U.S. and Vietnam. In response, Lam emphasized the need for discussions to resolve ongoing trade issues.
\n\nUpcoming Visit
\nThe official statement also mentioned that Trump has accepted an invitation from Lam to visit Vietnam, marking a potential new chapter in U.S.-Vietnam relations.
\n\nVietnam's Aircraft Acquisition
\nThis meeting comes on the heels of a series of agreements valued at over $30 billion, under which Vietnamese airlines are set to acquire 90 aircraft from Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA). These transactions highlight the growing economic ties between the two nations.
\n\nTrade Relations
\nVietnam has been a significant player in U.S. trade, ranking third in trade surplus with the U.S. following China and Mexico, with total goods traded worth $123.5 billion in 2024. Following Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs last year, Vietnam secured a deal with Washington to reduce tariffs from over 40% to a minimum of 20%, allowing for greater access to U.S. markets.
\n\nImpact of Supreme Court Ruling
\nThe announcement arrives shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated Trump's extensive "reciprocal" import duties, prompting him to implement a new 10% tariff on all countries. This policy shift could have wide-ranging implications for international trade and economic relations.
