China expressed opposition to nearby countries striking tariff reduction deals that cut China out of the supply chain. The People’s Daily, in its commentary, called it a “typical act of unilateral bullying, which seriously disrupts the normal international trade order and must be firmly opposed.”

President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Vietnam Wednesday that would allow U.S. goods to enter the country duty-free.

The announcement came after President Trump in April proposed a steep 46% tariff on Vietnamese imports; he later paused those tariffs while talks continued.
