That’s may be true. But why does Vietnam have such high tariffs? They should be competitive based on their lower costs right? So it’s simple: Vietnam can eliminate tariffs on imports and the U.S. would eliminate tariffs as well.

the tariff is calculated based on trade deficit, not how much tariff the other is applying
