Ohio is the delegation’s second stop on their working trip to the US this week to explore agricultural cooperation opportunities. Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy, who leads the Vietnamese delegation, met with Ohio Secretary of Agriculture Brian Baldridge. The two sides agreed to make recommendations to their governments on appropriate policies to refrain from tariffs that disrupt the supply chain.

The Vietnamese delegation will travel to Washington D.C. to continue discussing trade and tariff issues.
