Trump's Trade Tariffs : Vietnam's Wakeup Call

Vietnam was once a poster child of the "China Plus One" strategy as the nation became a popular destination for manufacturing giants wanting an inexpensive location and a skilled labour force. This followed US President Donald Trump's move to isolate Beijing during his first term in office. Daniel Moss, a Bloomberg opinion columnist, shares his take on how a second Trump presidency and its slapping of a 46% tariff on Vietnam has changed everything.
