First off, I sell relabelled Toshiba/Lexmark A4 product. It both sells well and works well into the SMB marketplace and has helped me make budget and income ever since the product was launched in Dec 2018. Toshiba does intend to manufacture its own A4 product line but that is at least one year away. If you follow Lexmark, it is a very "opaque" company on the web with regards to ownership and financial information. I am sure that Lexmark has penetrated deeply into all corners of the US gov't.

Lexmark is in a similar position to Huawei where they could be considered to be a potential security risk by some senior members of the US gov't. The US gov't has to date not produced what detailed threats Huawei presents. This could all be a bargaining...
