Trump turns to Belarus as Canada’s potash grip tightens
U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking alternative potash imports from Belarus to reduce America’s dependence on Canadian supply. Canada, mainly Saskatchewan, holds vast potash reserves. Potash is a key fertilizer ingredient that U.S. farmers rely on heavily. Belarus is a close ally of Russia.
