Vice President Kamala Harris, on a weeklong trip to Asia, posed, on Wednesday, in front of a bust of the country’s former president Ho Chi Minh, a revolutionary who served as the nation’s leader for 25 years.
Harris spent the day in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, which is about 1,000 miles north of Ho Chi Minh City, the city that was formerly known as Saigon. Saigon was the site of a humiliating military defeat for America, which culminated in U.S. helicopters rescuing soldiers and embassy workers off rooftops as the city fell — remarkably like the situation now unfolding in Afghanistan.
