The Trump administration has instructed senior U.S. diplomats in Vietnam to refrain from attending events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War's conclusion. This directive includes not participating in a reception and parade in Ho Chi Minh City. Veterans, traditionally involved in these commemorations, have also been left without support for their initiatives, leading to disappointment among advocates of reconciliation. John Terzano, a prominent veteran, criticized this decision, viewing it as a significant missed opportunity for the U.S. to engage symbolically in the ongoing peace efforts.
The direction for senior diplomats in Vietnam not to attend the 50th anniversary events signals a notable shift in U.S. diplomatic engagement.
