Businesses in the southern province of Dong Nai have exported more than US$1.5 billion worth of products to the US since early this year, a year-on-year rise of 10%, with key products such as wood, bags, suitcases, hats, steel, coffee, pepper and seafood. Products with huge export values like footwear and garments grew by 4-10% against the same period last year. However, the Ministry of Industry and Trade says the US legal system imposes many strict regulations on imported goods. In addition to common criteria, each state has its own regulations. Therefore, if Vietnamese businesses want to ship their products to the US, they must research the laws and regulations of individual states as well as the country. Besides, the US will continue to protect its domestic goods by issuing new regulations on the quality and origin of products, particularly for agroforestry and seafood products, which causes a number of difficulties for goods exported from Dong Nai and for the whole country as well. … [Read more...] about US – major export market of southern Dong Nai province

US ambassador ‘doesn’t want to be seen as supporter of right’: sources
"Ambassador Grenell was unhappy with the reaction his interview has sparked," one of the sources said after the US envoy visited the German foreign ministry. "He especially does not want to be considered in Germany as a supporter of the forces of the right," the source said. "Instead, he wishes to lay the basis for close and confident cooperation with German partners." The foreign ministry said that Grenell's visit - long planned - took place in an "open atmosphere." Grenell took up his Berlin post on May 8 and immediately irked his host country when he tweeted the same day that German companies should stop doing business with Iran after Trump quit the nuclear deal with Tehran. He caused further outrage last weekend with reported comments to right-wing news website Breitbart of his ambition to "empower other conservatives throughout Europe, other leaders." Grenell also raised eyebrows with his plan to host a June 13 lunch for Austria's arch-conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, … [Read more...] about US ambassador ‘doesn’t want to be seen as supporter of right’: sources
Retired US Army colonel who studied Russian intelligence practices levels stunning accusation about Trump’s relationship with Putin
The retired US Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters appearing on CNN with Anderson Cooper. Screenshot via CNN President Donald Trump is the "perfect target" for Russian intelligence. That's what the retired US Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters asserted during a CNN interview on Wednesday night. Peters said Trump's acquiescence to Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin, suggested to him that Putin had "some sort of grip on Trump." The former Fox News military analyst said the Steele dossier, a collection of memos and opposition research on Trump compiled by a former British intelligence agent, "rang true" to him because, as he put it, Trump "has no self-control, a sense of sexual entitlement, and intermittent financial crises." "That's made-to-order for seduction by Russian intelligence," Peters said. A retired US Army lieutenant colonel and military analyst on Wednesday night speculated that President Donald Trump may be on the tip of the spear with Russian intelligence. Ralph Peters … [Read more...] about Retired US Army colonel who studied Russian intelligence practices levels stunning accusation about Trump’s relationship with Putin
