HANOI/SEOUL — Vietnam and South Korea are cracking down harder on Chinese goods that are transshipped through the two Asian countries in an attempt to evade heavier U.S. tariffs.
Hanoi and Seoul are in talks with the Trump administration to stave off the full implementation of its currently paused “reciprocal” tariffs. As part of this, they have indicated that they will comply with an American request to support enforcement of the duties imposed on China.
