Read from BBC and Reuters:
Vietnam could be particularly vulnerable to Trump's latest salvo of levies. It has a large trade deficit with the US and has been a beneficiary of firms moving factories out of China to avoid measures announced during his first term in office.
While some countries have hit back at Washington, Vietnam's Prime Minister, Pham Minh Chinh, has suggested that he may take a more diplomatic approach.
Speaking in January, he said he was willing to visit Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and "golf all day long" if it benefits his country, drawing laughter in the room.
The Trump Organization is planning to invest billions of dollars in golf courses, hotels and real estate in Vietnam,
according to the Reuters news agency.
The first project will reportedly be a residential complex with three 18-hole golf courses, which will break ground in May.
"Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S.", Trump wrote on his Truth social platform.
"I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future," Trump added.
Lam confirmed the call and the pledge to cut tariffs on U.S. goods. "At the same time (Lam) proposed that the U.S. apply similar tax rates to goods imported from Vietnam," read a report on Vietnam's government portal published shortly after Trump's post.
And then there is golf - playing a game with Trump had worked for the late Japanese leader Shinzo Abe.
Abe and Trump established a friendship, which included many golf games over several years. The friendship arguably helped Abe secure tariff exemptions for Japan's critical car industry at the time.

So Pham and Trump are going renegotiate the tariffs back to where they were before with Vietnam/US, and thus there's no point of imposing that crazy reciprocal tariffs in the first place and most manufacturing will still remain in Vietnam. And Tariffs negotiations could be done anytime between countries without having to announce crazily high tariffs first. Also it's because Trump got personal business stakes in Vietnam. In other words mainly it's for his own benefit.
