LIVE | Xi Jinping Visits Vietnam Amid Tariff Turmoil Sparked by Trump | China-Southeast Asia Diplomacy
Chinese President Xi Jinping begins a pivotal diplomatic mission in Southeast Asia with a high-profile visit to Vietnam. The trip comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump shocked markets by maintaining 145% tariffs on Chinese imports, even as he paused duties on other nations. Xi is expected to meet with top Vietnamese leaders, including Communist Party General Secretary To Lam and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, to reinforce regional alliances and global trade cooperation.
