US President Donald Trump announces potential massive potash purchase from Belarus to undercut Canada

On Monday, US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that his administration is working on a massive deal to buy potash from Belarus at prices substantially lower than what the US currently pays Canada. This comes amid trade tensions with Canada, which is the world's leading potash exporter and relies heavily on the US market. Belarus, a major producer, has been under EU sanctions, but recent US-Belarus talks led by envoy John Coale have eased some US sanctions in exchange for political prisoner pardons. The deal's details remain undisclosed.
