U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been actively engaged in major trade negotiations this week as the Trump administration continues to reshape America's trade relationships globally. On November 10, Greer held the eighth ministerial level negotiation with Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien in Washington D.C. to discuss a reciprocal trade agreement between the two nations.
During the talks, Greer praised Vietnam's progress in the ongoing negotiations, particularly highlighting the adoption of a Joint Statement on a Framework for an Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade. He commended the Vietnamese delegation for their systematic and pragmatic approach in addressing U.S. proposals and acknowledged their constructive spirit throughout the negotiation process. The discussions covered major remaining issues in the trade talks while also exploring broader bilateral trade relations between the countries.
The Vietnamese minister reaffirmed his country's commitment to building a balanced and sustainable trade relationship with the United States. Dien proposed several steps to accelerate the negotiation timeline and encouraged both sides to maintain flexibility for the practical interests of both nations. Greer responded positively to these proposals, directing his technical team to study them further for upcoming follow up discussions scheduled for November 12 through 14.
Both officials agreed that the ministerial session represented a key milestone in resolving pending issues toward finalizing an agreement that would deliver tangible benefits for both countries. The talks signal continued momentum in U.S. efforts to establish reciprocal trade agreements with key partners in the Asia Pacific region.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to escalate trade tensions with China, with tariffs targeting Chinese imports worth billions of dollars throughout 2025. These actions aim to narrow what the administration views as an unfair trade deficit. Greer's role as Trade Representative places him at the center of these competing trade policy initiatives as the administration pursues its agenda of reciprocal and fair trade arrangements.
The ongoing negotiations with Vietnam and the broader trade strategies being implemented reflect the administration's focus on reshaping international commerce according to what officials describe as principles of fairness and reciprocity.
