WASHINGTON -- President Obama said Thursday that he and his counterpart from Vietnam are committed to completing a regional trade agreement by the end of the year, but "differences" remain over human rights in the Southeast Asia nation.
Obama said he and President Truong Tan Sang had a "candid conversation" about human rights, including "the progress Vietnam is making and the challenges that remain."
