India is the latest to come to terms

Several large companies manufacture products in Viet Nam, so I am sure they put pressure on the country to work out something with the tariffs, so they can still make the product with cheap labor, and not have a high tariff on it when they want to sell it in the USA.
Here are some of the large companies who have manufacturing plants in Vietnam Nam:
Several of them were manufacturing much more in China, but have migrated a good bit of their manufacturing to Vietnam thinking of pre-empting the Chinese tariffs they knew were coming from Trump. Trump still tariffed them but probably at a lower rate than if they were still in China. They can however, still manufacture in China for export to other countries.

As I mentioned above, a lot of items marked "Made in Vietnam" are really made in China. The trade imbalance is so great that actually making the stuff in Vietnam doesn't seem possible.

This is long and I hesitate to post it, because you need to watch almost the first half to get much out of it.


It also lays out the way the US economy is subsidizing the deficits other countries have with China through their own positive trade imbalances with the US.
 
Lei's Real Talk? That's just another YouTube Channel, with no established credibility. If I saw the same thing all over the Internet I would believe it, but I don't so, Pass...
I think you need to decide whether you trust effort and expertise or prefer to crowdsource your opinions.

You clearly can't count search hits to judge accuracy of an opinion. Search engines are tremendously corrupt, as policy.

Of course you could fish out the figures yourself and fact check the video I suppose.
