Trump says U.S. hammering out potash deal with Belarus in bid to sideline Canada

2h ago

Natural Resources Canada says the United States imported $4.2 billion worth of potash in 2025, or nearly half of Canada’s potash exports.

Still exempt from U.S. tariffs, potash is a key component in fertilizers, and Canada produced about a third of the world’s supply in 2023, followed by Russia and Belarus.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 21, 2026.
