    In other words Vietnamese will not pay extra for US cars but US citizens will pay extra for EVERYTHING that comes from Vietnam. LOL

      I suspect his goal is to make/keep other countries dependent on the US. That much is clear.

      He wants Vietnamese to depend on him, before he can tariff them to death. That way he weakens Chinese influence, on paper.

      He also wants to force Americans to only buy from fascists, rather than from normal people.
