Why is Vietnam still hating on the USA on visa requirements? We give them so much free trade and protect them against China.

that was decades ago. Now they need the American factories that moved out from China to Vietnam. Also, since the Chinese are invading the Vietnamese water, they need us to fight to the Chinese.

the French can enter Vietnam for 45 days and they were the ones that colonized them. Vietnam and America have one common enemy now, and we should be friends to stop the Chinese.
