President Donald Trump committed to removing Vietnam from the United States’ list of countries to which advanced technology exports are restricted, Hanoi’s communist regime stated after Vietnamese leader To Lam visited the White House on Feb. 20.

The two leaders discussed bolstering bilateral efforts, such as trade and scientific cooperation. The meeting followed Lam’s attendance at the inaugural session of the Board of Peace in Washington, an initiative by Trump to work toward the resolution of global conflicts, including the Gaza crisis.
