Inside Vietnam
The World Turns More Unpredictable: The U.S. presidential election ended more swiftly than expected, with an overwhelming victory for former President Donald Trump. The current circumstances are different from the time Trump first took office in 2016, but the world is still facing a lot of uncertainties stemming from the United States. This forces nations to thoroughly examine potential policy changes and prepare coping strategies to make the most of opportunities and mitigating risks in the turbulent years ahead. Vietnam is no exception.
