Has the Cold War finally thawed? The U.S. hasn’t sold lethal weapons to Vietnam for 50 years — but today, more than 20 years after the two nations re-established diplomatic ties, President Obama announced the end of that ban. In the past, the U.S. had suggested that such a move would be tied to Vietnam’s acceptance of human rights norms, and while that’s still a factor, this change is largely seen as an American olive branch to bolster its influence in a region dominated by China’s power.
