18% U.S. exports to Vietnam
82% Vietnam exports to U.S.
25% U.S. exports to China
75% China exports to U.S.
As a percentage of trade with each country, we already have a bigger trade deficit with Vietnam than China. So what's the actual metric for the policy? How could a business know that Vietnam isn't next? And how is a regressive tax that disproportionately punishes the poor and working tax an ethical way of negotiating this?
