China's President Xi Jinping on Monday called for stronger ties with Vietnam on trade and supply chains amid disruptions caused by U.S. tariffs, signing 45 bilateral cooperation documents covering a wide range of sectors including artificial intelligence, customs inspection and quarantine, and agricultural products trade as well as deals on enhancing supply chains and on cooperation over railways.

One memorandum of understanding signed on Monday is to boost cooperation between the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which issues certificates on the origins of goods.

Vietnam is a major industrial and assembly hub in Southeast Asia. Most of its imports are from China while the United States is its main export market. The country is a crucial source of electronics, shoes and apparel for the United States.

Meanwhile, Mad King Donald is crying about former president Biden in the Oval Office with president Bukele, claiming he has no control over Bukele returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to America because El Salvador is a sovereign country... unlike Canada and Greenland, evidently.

Bukele, when asked if he would return Abrego Garcia said no, he could not smuggle a terrorist to the United States despite the fact that Abrego Garcia is not a terrorist nor would Bukele be smuggling him here.

Finally, Mad King Donald was overhear telling Bukele that he'd need to build at least five more hellhole prisons because “home-growns are next. ... You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

But don't call him an autocrat or a fascist, please.
