特朗普突然对越南下狠手！20% 关税砸向千亿美元产业

Core Viewpoint - The sudden imposition of a 20% tariff on all Vietnamese exports to the U.S. by President Trump has disrupted Vietnam's economic plans, which were initially based on a lower expected tariff rate of 10-15% [1][3]. Group 1: Tariff Impact - The crisis originated from Trump's announcement of a "reciprocal tariff" plan, initially proposing a 46% punitive tariff on Vietnam, which was later negotiated down to 20% after three months of discussions [3]. - Vietnamese companies are facing significant challenges, with some, like JinkoSolar, facing tariffs as high as 120%, severely impacting their competitiveness [4]. Group 2: Vietnam's Response - Vietnam's trade surplus with the U.S. is projected to reach $123.5 billion in 2024, accounting for over 30% of its total exports, despite the 20% tariff potentially eroding 15-20% of corporate profits [5]. - The Vietnamese dong has depreciated to a historical low, and the Ho Chi Minh stock market lost $66 billion in value in a single week, indicating increased risks of foreign capital withdrawal [5]. Group 3: U.S. Strategic Goals - The U.S. aims to weaken China's influence in Southeast Asia through its tariff policies, despite data showing that only 3% of Vietnamese exports are used to circumvent tariffs, while 70% of materials for Vietnamese manufacturing come from China [7]. Group 4: Global Repercussions - The tariff conflict has broader implications, as Vietnam must balance its economic relationship with both the U.S. and China, with imports from China accounting for 62% of its total imports in the first four months of 2025 [8]. Group 5: Future Strategies - Experts predict that Vietnam may counteract the tariff impact through a 10% depreciation of the dong and a $5 billion government fund for export subsidies, although this could increase fiscal deficit pressures [9]. - Vietnam is pursuing a multi-faceted approach, including diplomatic negotiations, market diversification, and industrial upgrades, with exports to the EU and India increasing by 32% and 18% respectively [12].
