The Ministry of Industry and Trade is swiftly formulating criteria for the 'Made in Vietnam' label especially for the local market.

Britain said it would strike an agreement with Vietnam to make it easier for pharmaceutical firms to sell UK-made medicines in the Southeast Asian nation, under a new trade strategy that emphasises quick, industry-specific deals.

The U.S.-Vietnam trade deal of July 2025 has thrust Vietnam's manufacturing sector into a pivotal moment. 

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday the United States would impose a 35% tariff on imports from Canada next month and planned to impose blanket tariffs of 15% or 20% on most other trading partners.

Vietnam’s export sector delivered an upbeat performance in the first half of 2025, but the path to achieving full-year targets is proving increasingly challenging.

Amid the risk of high tariffs imposed by the United States, businesses in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the Southeast region in general are striving to diversify export markets, with a focus on South Asia.

Japan - one of the most developed economies in the world is opening up many opportunities for Vietnamese businesses.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday that his country will respond with reciprocity to U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly announced 50% tariff rate on his country’s exports.
