Tesla, Samsung oppose new US tariffs on Vietnam as probe deadline nears
Businesses are divided over whether Washington should propose new tariffs on Vietnamese goods this month, with Tesla and Samsung not in favour, while others have called for penalties, submissions to the US government show.
Tesla and Samsung have voiced opposition to the US government's consideration of new tariffs on Vietnamese goods as a probe into alleged intellectual property violations nears its deadline. The Trump administration has set a November 29th deadline to conclude the trade probe, which accuses Vietnam of persistent failures to resolve IP protection concerns.
Other US industries, including steel, solar, plywood, solar panel, and wood groups, have also called for penalties, accusing Vietnam of unfair practices. Vietnam, however, has urged the US to conduct its investigations objectively and has exported more goods to the US than any other country, with exports to the US surging 42% in the first eight months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
