U.S. Consul General Susan Burns represented the U.S. at an event in Ho Chi Minh City, despite the absence of the ambassador, Marc E. Knapper. Critics view this attendance as insufficient, stressing the significance of postwar reconciliation with Vietnam, noted as a crucial partner against China's influence.
