WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that a trade agreement with Vietnam was nearly complete. Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington that he could release details of the Vietnam trade agreement, but did not think it was necessary.

On July 2, President Donald Trump finalized a new trade agreement with Vietnam, which he had personally negotiated with General Secretary Nguyen Xuan Phuc. The deal has a tariff of 20%, which will be assessed on all goods imported from Vietnam, and a 40% charge on any goods that might be considered transshipped goods.
