Blood Potash? Saskatchewan Premier Urges U.S. to Boycott Belarusian Fertilizer

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is urging the United States to stop buying potash from Belarus, calling the product "blood potash." Moe says the U.S. should buy from reliable allies like Canada instead. Potash is a key ingredient in fertilizer. Belarus is a close ally of Russia. The country's potash industry is state-owned and has been accused of using forced labor. The U.S. currently imports potash from Belarus. Moe argues this money supports a regime that opposes Western interests. Saskatchewan is the world's largest producer of potash. The province says it can fill any supply gap for the U.S. market.
