Vietnam's shrimp exports reached 3.3 billion USD during the first eight months of 2026, representing a 12% increase compared to the same period last year.

In a push to strengthen economic and technological ties, Vietnamese General Secretary and President To Lam met with leaders from major U.S. companies, including SpaceX, FedEx, and Murphy Oil, in New York. During these discussions, To Lam proposed increasing imports of U.S. technological products and requested fair market access for Vietnamese enterprises in the United States.
