Vietnam's Factory Workers Are Living in Fear of Trump's Tariffs
Briefly

Vietnam's factory workers, like Nguyen Thi Tuyet Hanh, are grappling with the implications of a potential 46 percent tariff on goods made in the country. This uncertainty affects their livelihoods and the nation's economy, which relies significantly on exports to the U.S. While the tariff's implementation has been paused, fear remains among workers like Hanh, who manage grueling workloads to support their families. Vietnam's growth has largely been driven by American demand, accounting for over a quarter of its economic expansion last year, amplifying the stakes of these tariff discussions.
For factory workers in Vietnam, recent tariffs proposed by President Trump threaten economic stability as they rely heavily on exports to the U.S.
Nguyen Thi Tuyet Hanh illustrates the struggle of many workers balancing multiple jobs just to provide for their families amid uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs.
