Two of the countries that come to mind here would be China and South Korea if the U.S. follows up on this. There are others of course but maybe we are at a point where all trade will end temporarily until either North KOrea gives up nuclear weapons or the U.S. is forced to level north Korea one or the other. I think this is the reality we face given what I have experienced since I was 2 years old in 1950.
The point of "No Return" has been reached I believe because even General Mattis the Defense Secretary is talking about all out war on North Korea (at least in a rhetorical sense. )
For the Secretary of Defense to say this is very very serious because he doesn't mince words like Trump does.

President
Trump on Sunday raised the possibility of taking new actions targeting
North Korea in the wake of Pyongyang's latest nuclear test.
"The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea," Trump tweeted Sunday.
The president also said earlier in the day that North Korea “has become a great threat an embarrassment” to China, which is a major trading partner with Pyongyang.His comments come after North Korea said it successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb capable of fitting on an intercontinental ballistic missile. State television said the test ordered by leader Kim Jong Un was a "perfect success" and a "meaningful" step forward in its weapons program.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Sunday warned of new sanctions after North Korea's latest test.
"It's clear that this behavior is completely unacceptable," Mnuchin said on "Fox News Sunday."
"We've already started with sanctions against North Korea, but I am going to draft a sanctions package to send to the president for his strong consideration."
He said people need to cut off North Korea economically.
Trump last month escalated his rhetoric against North Korea, warning of "fire and fury" if the country continues to threaten the U.S.
When asked on Sunday if the U.S. would attack North Korea, he said, "We'll see."
