President Donald Trump says the United States is working on a major deal to buy potash from Belarus at a price he says would be 'substantially less' than what the U.S. currently pays Canada. Potash is a key ingredient in fertilizer and is critical to American agriculture. The potential deal comes as trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa continue, while the Trump administration seeks closer dialogue with Belarus. Canada remains the dominant supplier of potash to the U.S., raising questions about the impact a Belarus deal could have on North America’s fertilizer market. #Trump #Belarus #Canada #Potash #Fertilizer #USFarmers #USCanada #TradeWar #TrumpNews #Agriculture #FertilizerMarket #USPolitics #Geopolitics ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
