This article is divided into four parts. Part one provides a brief historical overview of relations from the end of American military invovment in Vietnam in 1973 to 2013. Part two reviews the evolution of bilateral defence relations under the Obama Administration. Part three discusses bilateral relations under the Trump Administration that reflect continuity with past policy rather than abrupt change. The conclusion argues that although there is a growing convergence on strategic issues between Vietnam and the U.S. their strategic interests are not congruent.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье представлен обзор военного сотрудничества США и Вьетнама с 2013 г. по настоящее время. Статья содержит четыре раздела. В первом представлен краткий исторический обзор отношений двух стран с конца американского вмешательства во Вьетнаме в 1973 по 2013 гг. Во втором рассматривается эволюция отношений США-СРВ в военной области при администрации Б. Обамы. В третьем разделе анализируются двусторонние отношения при администрации Д. Трампа, показывающей скорее преемственность с политикой прошлой администрации, чем резкое ее изменение. В заключении автор выражает мнение, что, несмотря на растущее сближение между Вьетнамом и США в стратегических вопросах, их долговременные интересы не совпадают.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>United States</kwd><kwd>relations</kwd><kwd>defence</kwd><kwd>Obama Administration</kwd><kwd>Trump Administration</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>отношения</kwd><kwd>оборона</kwd><kwd>администрация Б.
