With the signing of a new historic agreement with Vietnam, President Joe Biden refuted claims that the US is aiming to limit China’s global influence.
Mr. Biden traveled to Hanoi to seal the accord that will put the once-enemies even closer than they have ever been more than 50 years after the last American soldier left Vietnam.
The US has significantly improved relations with Vietnam through the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. It is the result of Washington’s tenacious.
Efforts over the previous two years to deepen its connections with Vietnam, which it sees as essential to containing China’s power in Asia.
It is a significant achievement. Vietnam, one of China’s longest and most steadfast allies, has established its highest degree of diplomatic connections with Washington through this alliance.

As Hanoi strives to wean itself off of Russia, the US also views Vietnam. As a prospective market for arms and military hardware.

Washington is also eager to assist Vietnam in developing its electronics industry and semiconductor supply chain.
Two areas that have been contentious as the US tries to limit China’s access to cutting-edge technology.
