Trump meets Vietnam leader

President Donald Trump met Vietnamese leader To ​Lam on Friday and ​said he ⁠would work to remove Hanoi from lists ​of countries ‌restricted in accessing U.S. advanced technology, according to ​a summary of the talks posted on the news website of the Vietnamese government. The ‌first ‌formal ​in-person meeting between the two took place at the White House after the ​head of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party attended the inaugural meeting of the ​Board of Peace in Washington. The meeting followed the announcement of deals worth over $30 billion, under which Vietnamese airlines would buy ‌90 aircraft from U.S. planemaker Boeing. Trump on Friday announced an immediate ⁠new 10% ​tariff on most imports from all countries after the Supreme Court struck down some ⁠of ⁠his earlier sweeping ⁠tariffs.
