#1 Mixed emotions at first but then I had to come to the realization that the war in Nam was a war started by Democrats.

#2 And how much is the US importing from Vietnam?

Trade in Goods with Vietnam
Year .Exports .Imports .Balance
2016 10,151.3 42,109.2 -31,957.8 (i,e, $32B deficit)
2015 7,087.5 38,019.7 -30,932.2
2014 5,732.9 30,615.6 -24,882.7
2013 5,036.8 24,651.0 -19,614.3
2012 4,622.9 20,267.7 -15,644.8
2011 4,315.2 17,487.8 -13,172.6
2010 3,705.5 14,867.9 -11,162.3

Seems to be following a familiar, almost Chinese, pattern. No thanks.

#3 Vietnam actually has a great dislike for the Chinese. China is not a good neighbor. Products shipped to Vietnam have problems. This may be difficult to believe but Americans are well received there. I can easily see Trump having a good relationship that can only grow. Good things ahead.

#4 I'd rather have a trade deficit with Vietnam than China.

#5 Vietnam is fairly friendly with the US and talking about allowing a US naval base there. Another good ally against China.
I'll take the trade deficit for all of that.
