The United States imported $17.4 billion worth of goods from Vietnam during the period—a YoY increase of 33.7 per cent. The latter ran a trade surplus of $15.2 billion with the former—up by 36.3 per cent YoY.
Almost all most-purchased items, including garments, textiles and footwear, were supplied by FDI firms.
The US market can offer more than $100 billion in export revenue annually to Vietnam by next year, if fully tapped, Do Ngoc Hung, trade counsellor and head of the Vietnam Trade Office in the United States, told a domestic news outlet.
More trade barriers have, however, been established by the United States to protect their domestic production, he noted.
During the two-month period, the country also exported $7.7 billion worth of goods to the European Union (EU)—a rise of 14.2 per cent YoY.
