Vietnam targets counterfeit luxury goods market amid US pressure

Vietnam, long known as a major global hub for fake luxury goods, is intensifying crackdowns on its counterfeit black market. The push comes amid pressure from the Trump administration, which has urged Hanoi to address the thriving illegal trade. The counterfeit industry in Vietnam has grown significantly, attracting both local sellers and international buyers seeking imitation high-end products. While authorities are taking steps to curb the trade, Vietnamese locals remain divided on the crackdown, with some dependent on the industry for their livelihoods.
