The US president Donald Trump has urged Vietnam to buy missiles and other weapons systems from the United States.

The US president delivered a message to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, urging him to buy missiles and other weapons systems from the United States. Trump said the US "makes the greatest missiles in the world" during his brief state visit to Vietnam.

Trump had also offered at an earlier meeting on Sunday with Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang to serve as a mediator in the South China Sea territorial disputes.

But during a joint appearance with President Trump, Quang said his country wants to settle disputes in the South China Sea through peaceful negotiations.

1. Maybe he can get a job as a used car salesmen when he gets out of jail

[SergeStorms]

11. He's no where near....

ethical or honest enough for used car salesmen to tolerate. They have their standards, and Trump doesn't have any.

2. Wonder what countries are enemies with Vietnam?

7. China is a major adversary of Vietnam

They fought a border war in 1979, and both claim the same territories in the South China Sea.
Vietnam and Laos have also recently fought over border territory both claim.

Vietnam builds military muscle to face China

3. Each missile comes with a certificate of authenticity, ...

A voucher for a free nights stay at a Trump property when a second night is purchased at rack rate (blackout dates apply), a case of Trump water and steaks (buyer pays shipping and handling fees), and a limited edition Ivanka coin purse with purchase of a handbag at full retail price (shipping is included!).

12. I think she has....

Jared's "coin purse" bronzed, and hanging on the wall. The "Trump Steaks" all have freezer burn, and the "Trump Water" is cloudy and out of date. Good enough for the Vietnamese people though, right? The Trumps would certainly think so.

6. I am glad my father is not alive to see this. nt

[Demoiselle]

8. I've been thinking the same thing.

My father's parents had a general store in LaMoure N.Dak. and supported the Farm Labor Party until Franklin Delano Roosevelt came along. We've been ride-or-die Liberal Dems ever since...

[Irish_Dem]

10. We've been died in the wool JFK liberals. And my father flew combat into Da Nang during the war.

All of this would have been devastating to him.

9. War profiteers made MILLIONS in Vietnam then,Trump wants them making millions NOW

Trump finally makes it to VN...........

[Irish_Dem]

13. It has always been about keeping the military industrial complex happy.

Never about ideology at all.

14. With his own war experience, Trump should be selling condoms.

With his own war experience, Trump should be selling condoms.

After all, he bragged that avoiding STDs was his personal VN (war).
