Spokesperson of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The US's reciprocal tax rate is not suitable for the reality of cooperation between the two countries.

On April 4, in response to a reporter's question asking about Vietnam's reaction to the United States' announcement of its decision to impose reciprocal tariffs on Vietnamese exports to the United States, Spokesperson of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang stated:

"Vietnam regrets the US announcement of its decision to impose reciprocal tariffs on Vietnamese exports to the US.

Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam Pham Thu Hang.

We believe that the above decision is not consistent with the reality of mutually beneficial economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, does not reflect the spirit of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for peace, stability, cooperation and development, and will negatively impact bilateral economic and trade relations and the interests of the people and businesses of the two countries if applied.

In recent times, Vietnam has actively exchanged and discussed specific measures with the United States to remove obstacles, promote bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and move towards fair, sustainable trade and harmonizing the interests of both sides.

Vietnam will continue to coordinate and exchange with the US side in a constructive and cooperative spirit to find practical solutions, contributing to the stable and sustainable development of bilateral economic relations, meeting the interests of the people and businesses of the two countries."
