In a visit to Vietnam on Sunday, U.S. President Joe Biden secured deals on semiconductors
00:06
and minerals as the strategic Southeast Asian nation promoted Washington to Hanoi's top-tier
00:12
diplomatic status alongside China and Russia.
00:16
The U.S. has been pushing for the upgrade for months with the strategic nation in the
00:20
contested Indo-Pacific region.
00:22
"Today we can trace a 50-year arc of progress in the relationship between our nations from
00:29
conflict to normalization."
00:31
Biden praised the upgrade at a news conference, noting the "dramatic change from a half-century
00:35
ago when American soldiers fought a brutal war in the country."
00:40
Biden arrived in Hanoi to a ceremony organized by the ruling Communist Party that included
00:45
schoolchildren waving American flags and honor guards carrying bayoneted rifles.
00:49
The focus of the visit includes another power to the north, China.
00:54
The upgrade in trade ties could help strengthen American access to Vietnamese exports of semiconductors,
00:59
and rare earth minerals, strengthening a supply chain that has proven vulnerable to changes
01:04
in China's output and trade policy.
01:06
Asked about Beijing, Biden said he wasn't interested in containing China, but emphasized
01:11
that stability required playing by the rules.
01:14
"China is beginning to change some of the rules of the game in terms of trade and other
01:21
issues."
01:22
Biden did not specify which rules he meant.
01:25
His visit and the deals brokered aren't the end of this story.
01:29
Officials and diplomats said top Chinese officials, possibly including President Xi Jinping, are
01:35
expected to visit Vietnam in the coming days or weeks.
