Tesla, Samsung oppose new US tariffs on Vietnam as probe deadline nears

Tesla and Samsung, along with other businesses, oppose the potential new US tariffs on Vietnamese goods as a trade probe deadline approaches. The Trump administration has set a Nov 29 deadline to conclude a trade probe launched in May over alleged intellectual property violations in Vietnam. However, businesses argue that the tariffs could disrupt supply chains, as Tesla noted the difficulty in sourcing advanced components and precision manufacturing equipment domestically.

Additionally, industry groups representing steel, seafood, plywood, solar panels, and wood products accuse Vietnam of unfair practices and call for new tariffs.
