President Barack Obama on Tuesday welcomed the leader of Vietnam’s Communist Party to the White House for a rare Oval Office meeting, two decades after the one-time enemies normalized relations. The talks with Trong — the first general secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party to visit the United States and the White House — come as Washington looks to build deeper trade, military and political ties with Hanoi.
