WASHINGTON DC - More than 90 brands have jointly written to US President Joe Biden urging him to make more COVID-19 vaccines available to Vietnam because of the country's importance in their supply chains.
Leading brands, including Gap, New Balance, Nike, PVH Corp, VF Corp, Adidas, ASICS, Levi Strauss & Co, Patagonia and Ralph Lauren - all members of the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) - signed the letter.
Vietnam, which recently overtook Bangladesh to become the world's second largest apparel exporter, after China, has been hit by its worst spike in coronavirus cases so far.
