NEW YORK -- Vietnam has benefited from U.S. trade actions against other Asian countries, but this blessing is quickly turning into a curse as the nation's rising economic status draws increasing scrutiny from the tariff-hungry Trump administration.
U.S. trade data released Wednesday shows American imports from Vietnam topped $25 billion in the first five months of 2019, a 36% surge on the year, compared with only a single-digit increase in that period of 2018.
