Trump said he wants, to spite the Canadians, to buy not their fertilizers but Belarusian ones — Lukashenko apparently was not warned about this
"The United States is working on a major deal to purchase potash fertilizers from Belarus. Their price should be significantly lower than the Canadian ones, the U.S. president said on his social network Truth Social.
At the same time, Lukashenko has already said that even if Belarus wanted to enter Western markets, there is simply 'nothing to supply' anymore, CTV News reports.
In addition, Belarusian potash is under EU sanctions, and since the country has no access to the sea, exporting anything to circumvent the sanctions is very difficult.
Canada is the world's largest exporter of potash: in 2024 year it accounted for more than 39% of global exports. Russia and Belarus follow immediately after it.
