President Donald Trump reportedly agreed to remove Vietnam from U.S. restrictions on advanced technology access during a meeting with Communist Party chief To Lam in February 2026. The decision follows Vietnam’s efforts to reduce its trade imbalance with the U.S., a key factor in easing export controls on sensitive technologies. No specific technologies were named, but the move could impact sectors like semiconductors, AI, and quantum computing, where Vietnam seeks growth. Vietnam’s government confirmed the pledge in a brief statement but provided no further details on timelines or implementation steps. The shift aligns with broader U.S. strategy to counterbalance China’s tech dominance by strengthening ties with Southeast Asian partners.
