US-Vietnam Relations: Biden, Trong Ink Partnership
US President Joe Biden visited Hanoi on 10 September and signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Vietnamese General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, upgrading diplomatic ties. The agreement covers trade, investment, security, and climate change. Biden was the first US President invited by the Communist Party. Vietnam's young workforce and entrepreneurial spirit attract US investors, with companies like Dell, Google, Microsoft, and Apple moving supply chains. The US aims to help Vietnam become a key player in semiconductors. Human rights concerns persist, but Vietnamese public opinion of the US is favorable. China views the partnership as a cold-war mentality.
