U.S. President Donald Trump said on Twitter on Sunday that the United States was considering cutting trade to any country doing business with North Korea.

    The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea.

North Korea said it had tested an advanced hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile on Sunday, setting off a manmade earthquake near the test.

Prices would rise for both sides, as our imports from and exports to China would have to travel through an intermediate country.

We'd just open trade deficits and enrich other Third World nations in SE Asia - likely their competitors - India and Vietnam.

Yup.  The only effect would be to enrich some third parties.
