By RICK NOACK | The Washington Post | Published: May 8, 2021 ÉVRY, France Almost six decades after the U.S. military began dropping a toxic herbicide known as Agent Orange in the Vietnam War, a French courtroom in a Parisian suburb has become the unlikely setting for a faceoff between a woman who says she was a victim and some of the world s largest chemical and pharmaceutical corporations that supplied the substance. The landmark case has pitched Tran To Nga, a 79-year-old, against 14 companies. A ruling is expected on Monday. If the court in Évry sides with the companies, including American multinational Dow, it would crush hopes for what activists have seen as a historic trial and a unique chance for accountability. But if the court rules in Tran s favor, she would be the first Vietnamese civilian to win such a case.
