\n

At the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is initiating an investigation addressing two significant issues with respect to Vietnam.<\/p>\n

USTR will investigate Vietnam\u2019s acts, policies, and practices related to the import and use of timber that is illegally harvested or traded, and will investigate Vietnam\u2019s acts, policies, and practices that may contribute to the undervaluation of its currency and the resultant harm caused to U.S. commerce.<\/p>\n

USTR will conduct the investigation under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. As part of its investigation on currency undervaluation, USTR will consult with the Department of the Treasury as to issues of currency valuation and exchange rate policy.<\/p>\n

United States Trade Representative Robert E. Lighthizer said, \u201cPresident Trump is firmly committed to combatting unfair trade practices that harm America\u2019s workers, businesses, farmers, and ranchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing illegal timber in wood products exported to the U.S. market harms the environment and is unfair to U.S. workers and businesses who follow the rules by using legally harvested timber.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, unfair currency practices can harm U.S. workers and businesses that compete with Vietnamese products that may be artificially lower-priced because of currency undervaluation. \u00a0We will carefully review the results of the investigation and determine what, if any, actions it may be appropriate to take.\u201d<\/p>\n

USTR will issue two separate Federal Register notices the week of October 12 that will provide details of the investigation and information on how members of the public can provide their views through written submissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
