In a recent statement, U.S. President Donald Trump declared:

“We’re not looking to make sneakers and T-shirts. We want to make military equipment, big things like AI and computers.”

This clearly signals a shift in focus: the U.S. is prioritizing high-tech industries, while labor-intensive sectors like textiles and footwear – which rely heavily on competitive production costs – will remain in outsourcing countries such as Vietnam.

This presents a valuable opportunity for Vietnam to strengthen its strategic role in the global fashion supply chain, while encouraging local logistics providers to develop smarter, leaner, and more sustainable transport solutions.
