The United States will place a lower-than-promised 20% tariff on many Vietnamese exports, Donald Trump said on Wednesday, cooling tensions with its tenth-biggest trading partner days before the U.S. president could raise levies on most imports.

On July 2, President Donald Trump finalized a new trade agreement with Vietnam, which he had personally negotiated with General Secretary Nguyen Xuan Phuc. The deal has a tariff of 20%, which will be assessed on all goods imported from Vietnam, and a 40% charge on any goods that might be considered transshipped goods.
