Hanoi could become a victim of its own success after building up a huge trade surplus with the US

Artiklens hovedpointer

Børsens cheføkonom Steen Bocian anbefaler denne artikel fra Financial Times fordi:
Trump øjnene rettet mod lande, som har store overskud på samhandlen med USA. Det har Vietnam, som over de seneste år har haft fordel af, at mange virksomheder - for at styrke forsyningskæderne - har flyttet dele af produktionen væk fra Kina

Vietnam was one of the biggest beneficiaries of Donald Trump’s trade war with China during his first term in office. But Hanoi could become a victim of its own good fortune, business groups and analysts have warned, if the president-elect follows through on threats of blanket tariffs when he returns to the White House.
