Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang reiterates that the country is ready for “open, constructive” trade talks with the United States, aiming to reinvigorate negotiations over a final tariff or reciprocal trade agreement. Thang communicates this directly to US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer as the talks continue after months of discussion.
The outlets describe the same meeting and wording from Vietnam, framing Vietnam’s position as cooperative and focused on moving toward agreement. Bloomberg and Mint emphasize Vietnam’s readiness to restart or intensify dialogue, while Business Line adds that Greer tells Vietnam the US intends to conclude the negotiations quickly on the reciprocal trade agreement. Across reports, no final deal terms are announced, and the emphasis remains on intent and timing rather than specific tariff outcomes.
