How Vietnam's garment factories benefited from Trump's trade policy
Vietnam's garment factories saw increased exports to the United States as companies shifted production from China to avoid tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump's trade policies. This realignment allowed Vietnamese manufacturers to fill the gap left by Chinese suppliers facing higher U.S. duties. The influx of orders boosted Vietnam's position in global supply chains, particularly in the apparel sector. The trend highlights how trade tensions can redirect manufacturing flows across Asia.
