Joe Biden did not protest or fight in the Vietnam War, as he was of draft age but did not serve. However, he has made several visits to Vietnam in his career as a Senator and as Vice President. In 2013, he visited Vietnam on a trip that was seen as a success in terms of strengthening the relationships between the United States and Vietnam. His most recent visit to the nation, in December 2016, was seen as an important moment in his vice-presidency as he worked to enhance cooperation in areas such as economics, security, and environmental issues.
