November 9: Under the Obama administration, the US–Vietnam relationship expanded, especially in terms of security cooperation. China’s increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea has helped to warm US–Vietnam bilateral ties. The Trans-Pacific Partnership also offered Vietnam an opportunity to escape China’s economic orbit. But just as the hard-earned security rapprochement was starting to gain momentum, newly elected US President Donald Trump announced the US withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Soon after the rebalance to Asia was declared officially dead. Neither was good news for Vietnam.

December 20: New Orleans' Vietnamese community reacts to Trump’s proposed immigrant policy change
Maggie Tran’s family was part of the early wave of Vietnamese refugees who arrived in New Orleans in the mid-1970s after the Vietnam War. She was only 5 years old at the time.
Over the following decades, the number of people of Vietnamese descent living in the New Orleans area has grown, reaching close to 15,800 by 2010, according to the most recent U.S. Census data available.
The Vietnamese community was rattled last week by the news that the Trump administration had proposed reversing a 2008 agreement with Vietnam that protected all Vietnamese nationals who arrived before July 12, 1995 from potential deportation. The reversal specifically targets Vietnamese refugees who are undocumented and those with criminal records, who had been previously shielded by the agreement.
