> The US trade deficit with Vietnam exceeded $110 billion in January to November, up nearly 18% from the same period of 2023. The Vietnamese dong's sharp fall from late October to multi-month lows against the dollar has made Vietnamese exports cheaper. Vietnam now has the fourth-largest surplus among US trade partners.
