UPDATE 1-Trump meets Vietnam leader, vows to remove Hanoi from restricted lists

Adds details on restricted export talks

WASHINGTON/HANOI, Feb 20 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump met Vietnamese leader To Lam on Friday and said he would work to remove Hanoi from lists of countries restricted in accessing U.S. advanced technology, according to a summary of the talks posted on the news website of the Vietnamese government.

The first formal in-person meeting between the two took place at the White House after the head of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party attended the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington.

The meeting followed the announcement of deals worth over $30 billion, under which Vietnamese airlines would buy 90 aircraft from U.S. planemaker Boeing BA.N.

Trump on Friday announced an immediate new 10% tariff on most imports from all countries after the Supreme Court struck down some of his earlier sweeping tariffs.
