Vietnam Economy: Trump’s Plan B is WORSE Than You Think

What if the biggest threat to the Vietnam economy is not war, a pandemic, or a financial crisis, but Trump's New Tariff strategy? After the U.S. Supreme Court shut down the IEEPA tariff shortcut, attention shifted to what comes next: a “Plan B” approach that can hit through a temporary surcharge, targeted Section 301 investigations, and national-security style trade pressure. In this episode, Attorney Ken Duong explains why Vietnam’s massive trade surplus with the U.S. and the transshipment narrative put “Made in Vietnam” under a brighter spotlight than ever. He also explains what some are calling Trump’s “Plan B” on trade, why tariffs are being described as a powerful economic weapon, and how new U.S. policies could affect Vietnam’s factories, exports, foreign investment, and long-term economic growth. Vietnam became a global export powerhouse as companies moved manufacturing out of China, electronics, furniture, textiles, and more. But that success can also paint a target. When policy turns into enforcement, the first damage often shows up quietly: delayed orders, tighter origin checks, and investors suddenly hesitating. Could Vietnam face higher tariffs? Could supply chains shift again? And what would it mean for businesses, investors, and everyday people in Vietnam? Watch as Attorney Ken Duong breaks down the situation in clear, practical terms and explains what these potential changes could mean for Vietnam’s economic future.
