Maybe Wharton should look into revoking his degree, because clearly he didn't learn a damn thing!

This is an amazing deal from America. Please look again 

How is Vietnam paying nothing for US goods and Americans paying more for goods from Vietnam a win? Americans are the losers here. We're paying more. How is that a deal?

Besides the headline rate numbers, The fact Vietnam was willing to open up their entire market with no trade barriers is a huge deal for US farmers . This is an amazing deal. You  are

Right, different countries have different situations, but if this is framework . HOLY 💩🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Farmers export $120 billion worth of goods from the US. Vietnam imports a total of $3 billion ish in agriculture, and only a percent of that from the US. They promised to increase imports from the US in February, but it won't be the full $3 billion. This is a blip considering the rest of the world is reducing their reliance on US goods thanks to the Trump tariff policy.

I see no victories in this trade policy or so-called "deal."

Let me try to explain, you have it backwards 

The 0 percent is a tariff that would be paid by Vietnam/US companies selling into Vietnam , so with 0 tariff, 

Say if us farmer wants to sell $100 of beef to Vietnam, it will be $100, but if there was a 20 percent tariff, that same beef will be $120 with tariff cost split between the two parties or paid by US farmers . So if domestic beef is $100, people in Vietnam will have to pay $120 for US beef. Why would they buy US beef?  That is assuming no trade barriers banning us beef like there was before this deal . Now U farmers have a more even playing field 

as for other way , they need the US consumer market so 
U companies can most likely make Vietnam companies who wants to sell into the USA pay most of the tariff in order to access US markets 

You just contradicted yourself in your own argument lmao

How? If you don’t want to understand it, I cannot help you.

Capital markets are mostly happy  with this deal so you keep doing what you do ok lol 

Why would Vietnamese people pay $120 for US beef as a result of a tariff, but when the roles are reversed, Vietnamese people absorb the cost of tariffs so prices don't go up in America? It's a direct contradiction.

Yes why would they pay $120 for tariffed US Beef?  But now with 0 tariff , that beef is now $100. US farmers has a new non tariffed market to sell to which is great for them, the reason they didn’t sell before was because of the trade barrier against US businesses , and even those counties with no barriers , they had a tariff, US farmers didn’t need to absorb the tariff because the US  domestic market is large enough for them  .

But Vietnam needs to absorb or greatly sweeten that 20 percent tariff to US importer to have access US market

if you still don’t get it, that is fine, we will just see what happens

i just love it

I'm guessing this will be the first year that prices for Apple hardware will be HIGHER in the US than other countries. The next iPhone could be $1000 in the US and $750 in Canada. Apple has a choice of either tanking its US sales or bribing an insane despot.

Or absorbing the tax as a cost of doing business.
Apple maintains a very high margin.

0 percent for US companies into Vietnam is incredible

The fact Vietnam is wiling to agree to this show the ominous power of America 

Unlike the Felon-in-Chief and his Germanic capitalization of nouns, the Vietnamese trade officials realize that this will probably result in only a relatively small hit to their exports: it’s the initial US purchaser who pays the tariffs.

So it’s better deal before like last year when US businesses. Cannot sell things into Vietnam with Barriers as well as a 25 percent Tariff? 

And Vietnam can sell into USA with basically no tax killing every American business?

No thanks
