Description
Summary:America's relations with Vietnam have never been less than rocky. It's been 45 years since the United States first gave aid to South Vietnam. Since then, the shared history of the two countries contains chapter after muddled chapter.

Such feelings are an extension of the sentiments expressed in February 1994 when the United States lifted its 19-year trade embargo on Vietnam. (excerpt)
