Over 500,000 kilograms of corn from the United States were recently seized at Taiwan's border after they were found to have excessive concentrations of deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

As the name suggests, concentrated levels of vomitoxin can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in both humans and animals. Contaminated corn most frequently sickens hogs and other livestock that consume it as feed.

The intended meaning of my post was that Mexico and Canada almost exclusively trade with US. while ASEAN, Japan and Korea do there best to trade with everyone.
in 2023 US is getting more of its imports from Vietnam than prior years. Vietnam is most probably getting dollar for this trade.

It is harder for vietnam to get rid of their US$. Russia and Saudi are not going to accept as much US$ as before, when selling their oil. China is demanding rmb for Chinese exports to vietnam.

So I didn't get a good read on that Bloomberg article but I had a chance to skim it.

As far as I can tell it's just an inside source saying that the SK government won't encourage the two companies to take over Microns share in China. Is that it? No laws, sanctions ect? Because if it is...

Take Bloomberg headlines with a grain of salt... they're always about 6 months ahead into their ideal future, notwithstanding reality.
Previously they reported TikTok will allow the US unfettered access to its algorithm.
If you see headlines with uncertain words such as "soon", "to avoid", "most likely", then chances are it has not yet happened, and may never happen.
