US companies, including Boeing and Apple, visiting Vietnam

Top US companies, including Boeing and Apple, will participate in a business mission to Vietnam next week. This mission, organized by the US-Asean Business Council, includes over 60 firms aiming to strengthen ties amid potential US trade tariffs. Vietnam is reviewing its duties on US goods, including liquefied natural gas and high-tech products. The mission comes as Vietnam seeks to reduce its trade surplus with the US, which exceeded $123 billion in 2024. Executives will meet with Vietnamese leaders, including Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. Companies like Exxon Mobil and financial firms such as JPMorgan and Visa are also part of the delegation, highlighting ongoing business interests in Vietnam.
