Great meeting today with Vietnam's Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung.
We reaffirmed our commitment to deepening the U.S.-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and discussed strengthening our bilateral relationship, rebalancing trade, and expanding defense and security cooperation.
I am so proud to represent President Trump and his administration to enhance cooperation between the United States Navy and the Vietnamese Navy.
We must allow the wounds of the past to heal and move forward for the mutual benefit of both nations.
Leaving Vietnam as a refugee 51 years ago and returning today as the Acting Secretary of the Navy is a powerful, full-circle reminder of what is possible when blessed with freedom and opportunity.
Our productive visit strengthened US-Vietnam relations and our naval partnership.
Progress often starts simply: two Sailors sitting down, sharing a common bond, and working together to achieve mutual goals. What we accomplished extends beyond the pier—strengthening the trust to keep sea lanes open, defend freedom of navigation, and preserve peace through strength across the Pacific.
Thanks @POTUS, @SecRubio, and @SecWar for your leadership and commitment to ensuring our @USNavy and @USMC have what they need to maintain maritime dominance.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam | Release Date Update 📆
"We would like to start by saying thank you to the more than 350k players who joined us throughout the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Open Beta, as well as everyone who took the time to share their feedback with us.
Over the course of the weekend, we loved seeing your clips, screenshots, stories and discussions across social media, Discord, Reddit and our feedback survey. We were also thrilled to see so many of our War Correspondents, content creators and community members sharing their experiences with others.
We want Hell Let Loose: Vietnam to deliver the best possible experience for players on both PC and console. Following intensive internal testing, coupled with the open beta feedback, we've identified several areas where additional development time will allow us to deliver a stronger launch experience.
As a result, we have decided to delay the launch of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam to 13th August.
We know many of you have been patiently awaiting the next chapter in the Hell Let Loose franchise, and we do not take this decision lightly. However, we firmly believe that taking additional time now is the right choice for both the game and the community. We’d also like to thank you for your feedback across surveys, Discord, Reddit and beyond.
The additional development time will allow the team to focus on improving performance, stability and overall gameplay quality ahead of launch. We will continue to share updates on our progress in the coming weeks and provide further information as we move closer to release.
As always, you can continue to share your feedback through our social channels, the official Hell Let Loose Discord and our support page.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to deploying with you soon."

Black Rambo Hip-Firing the M60 in Vietnam 🇺🇸
PFC Milton L. Cook of Company C, 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry (Mechanized), 25th Infantry Division, unleashing his M60 from the hip during operations near Củ Chi, South Vietnam.
January 8, 1967.
In late 1967, a US Army supply convoy drove straight into a Viet Cong kill zone. In ten minutes, 30 trucks were burning, seven drivers dead and 17 wounded. The VC had mapped every route the convoys used and knew how to turn supply columns into a turkey shoot.
Without any armor or firepower worth mentioning, the drivers were practically sitting ducks every time they left the gate.
Something had to change. But official Army channels could take months, and the men in those convoys didn't have that kind of time. So they simply built their own gun trucks in the motor pool. At first, they bolted sandbags and wooden planks onto the back of 2.5-ton trucks. They soaked up monsoon rain, snapped axles, and turned the trucks into overloaded coffins.
On paper, the only weapon allowed was the M60 machine gun. The guys driving through the kill zones had a different opinion. They strolled over to the Air Force, talked them out of .50 cals, and yanked miniguns off Hueys. One crew mounted their minigun without its electric motor and hand-cranked it through firefights like a Civil War Gatling gun.
They proved themselves a few months later at Ambush Alley. Charging straight into the kill zone, the gun trucks lit up the treeline. The Americans lost four gun trucks and six cargo trucks, but the VC got smoked, left 41 dead and pulled back.
From then on, convoys ran one gun truck per ten cargo trucks.
🚨ICE Los Angeles arrested Sang Van Nguyen, 69, of Vietnam, May 21. Nguyen’s extensive criminal record includes shoplifting, robbery, burglary, forgery, grand theft, license/ID forgery, and possession of a controlled substance. He is in ICE custody pending removal.

.@ICEgov has ARRESTED Dinh Quy Nguyen, a criminal illegal alien from Vietnam, who was convicted of attempted murder of a POLICE OFFICER in 1989.
After being taken into ICE custody in 2011, Nguyen was released and allowed to roam free in our communities due to a previous agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam that made ICE unable to repatriate Vietnamese citizens who entered our nation prior to July 12, 1995.
@POTUS Trump ELIMINATED those limitations — and now our ICE law enforcement is able to REMOVE this heinous criminal from our nation.
