      Nah, they should just charge the maximum the market will pay for it. Squeeze the US farmers for all they’re worth. It’s what Trump would want

    Belarus’s authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko said Monday that there are no available volumes of fertilizer to send to the U.S. This came after President Trump announced that he was working on a “massive Deal” to buy potash from Minsk at a steep discount amid the trade war with Canada.

    Canada should charge an additional 0.1% export tax on potash every time Trump says or posts something dumb. Probably would be over 100% before the midterms.

      More and more I am getting the feeling that the USA is being ruled by NatalieGPT, which goes like this: Trump whines about something like not having potash, Natalie queries an LLM where else has potash then tells Trump that he just made a stupendous trade deal there so he can post about it or share some more AI slop.

    Sounds like Trump is unable to get potash elsewhere. Guess that means Canadan producers can utilize their monopsony power to increase prices to the US. Not like US farmers would have any choice but to pay it

    All signs point to Russia and trump administration are in bed. They’re planning something.

    Russia attacks a NATO country. Poland? Finland?

    Canada steps in all in, resources depleted

    USA says america first that’s NATO’s fight. Doesn’t help.

    America takes over a depleted Canada.
