It appears that Vietnam didn't make any concessions at all, only the US, i.e. Obama unilaterally lifted the embargo -- now we will sell weapons to Vietnam..

The arming of communists.
Obama has armed ISIS and other US enemies.

Boeing sold Vietnam Boeing 787 Dreamliner airliners. The first was delivered late last year to Vietnam Airlines.

What’s the big deal? They only killed 55,000 of our boys.

Um given that China is the real threat, I am not so sure that arming Vietnam is a bad thing. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
To: Innovative
It was done to tweak China as Vietnam is one of the players in the South China sea controversy.

The arming of communists. Technically they're Marxist-Leninists (according to Wikipedia).

King Obama helps out another Communist Regime. Will he visit North Korea this trip ?

That boy just doesn’t understand leverage, does he?
Worst negotiator ever!

I thought we already “normalized” relations w Cuba. Now all communist countries are our friends that we can serve.
It’s definitely time for a president who will indeed put America and our interests FIRST in dealing with other countries.

Used to be that things like “normalizing relations” came about via an act of Congress. Now it looks like a simple press conference is all it takes. It sure simplifies things!

"The decision to lift the ban was not based on China or any other considerations," he said...
...and we'd be careless to NOT believe him.

Will Obie sell them weapons, or will he give them to them free, courtesy of the American taxpayers?
I doubt whether Vietnam can afford to buy an awful lot of anything.

What would it take to just keep him in Hanoi? An IED would probably do it.
