“It is my opinion that the SUV or, as it is sometimes referred to, Large Engine Vehicle, which does so well in the United States, will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam”

Unfortunately their governemnt is investing heavily into car only infrastructure which bikes aren’t allowed to use. It’s frustrating to see considering their cities are already at maximum traffic with motorbikes alone. Adding cars to the mix there just isn’t possible.
Also there’s no way that US automakers will be able to outcompete Vinfast and Chinese EVs who are working with better subsidies and significantly cheaper labor.
That’s ok, there will be a statement at some point in the near future from some Vietnamese official denying that any of this post from Trump is true.
This has been the pattern, I’ve no doubt it will continue to be.
