TEAMS & BRIEFINGS
Washington opened three Section 301 investigations covering Vietnam this year, one of which has already produced a 12.5% tariff. The EU's deforestation rule applies from 30 December 2026, and trade flows across Southeast Asia are shifting fast. Most of that reaches Western desks late, filtered through Hanoi press releases or Washington talking points. The Mekong Brief reads Vietnamese-language sources first and explains what they mean for decision-makers in trade, agriculture, and supply chains.
