U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is getting a firsthand look at the enduring costs of fighting the Vietnam War.
Mattis visited an air base north of Ho Chi Minh City that was heavily contaminated in the late 1960s and early 1970s by American forces through storage and spillage of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange.
Four years ago the U.S. pledged to clean and restore the parts of Bien Hoa (bee-yen WAH’) air base that were contaminated.
The U.S. Agency for International Development soon will begin a soil restoration project at the base estimated to take several years and cost $390 million.
