Construction is expected to take six years, create jobs for around 1,800 local people and contribute $350 billion to Vietnamβs economy, Blinken said.
Vietnam's GDP is $360 billion. America's going to somehow contribute an entire year's worth of GDP just by constructing and operating an embassy? I understand that the intern assigned to the task has never opened a spreadsheet in their life, but Blinken has to know better or he's going to be seen even more as a joke.
