Vietnam's $1.5 Billion Bribe to Trump to Avoid Tariffs

Vietnam's Bribe to Trump

• 🇻🇳 Vietnam has decided to openly bribe Donald Trump to avoid tariffs on goods exported to the United States.
• 💰 This bribe comes in the form of fast-tracking a $1.5 billion real estate deal for a resort outside Hanoi.
