Trump says U.S. to continue buying Canadian potash — but wants cheaper price | Globalnews.ca

Canada is the world's leading exporter of potash — a key component of fertilizers — and the United States is its biggest customer.

Someone finally got through to Trump that Belarus has no potash to spare. All of their production is under contract.

Someone is feeding Trump fake news, and Trump is making very public announcements based on it. The bad intel, one might suspect, is designed to make Trump look foolish, having to backtrack. I wonder if that’ someone’ is Vance, who desperately wants to evict Trump from the White House after the mid-terms?

    I think Canada should announce that the prices will start at current levels, and increase by permanent 5% every time the orange shitstain (or the dumb fucks he hires) makes a threat/unilateral demand to the Great White North. Trade war? +5%. Annexation/51st state bullshit? Oh look, another +5%. Keep it going and make it crystal clear at every opportunity that it’s his fault

      I would like to see Canada make a statement that the potash won’t be sold until after the midterms, and any sales afterwards, to states supporting the current administration, will have to pay a premium in taxes on the potash.
