I thought Donald Trump was the dumbest motherfucker to ever breath on this planet, but then I realized that millions of Americans are spades stupider and voted him into power. Twice.
Dude is a malignant narcissist with Frontotemporal Dementia, how the fuck that guy is still permitted to be president blows my mind. He's royally fucking over the the US from top to bottom, it's going to take them decades to recover from the damage he's caused to US institutions, from tech to farmland, and international relations.
We have alternative markets now, from EU(CETA), Asia(CPTPP), soon MERCOSUR, and we need to build them out so the US has no leverage over us period.
Good, Canada can sell it's potash elsewhere.
Canada should get to work with Russia, China, Belarus, Germany, Laos, Jordan and Chile to establish the Organization of Potash Exporting Countries (OPEC), to re-negotiate with the United States.
The russia and Belarus can get fucked.
I'm pretty tired of the turnip in the news. Nothing he says means anything, it's just a distraction at best, the ramblings of a dementia patient at its worst.
Two crackheads fighting over a spoon would be better to listen to than him.
I wish the news would focus on his many handlers.
It's just a desperate attempt to hold onto farmer and rancher votes for the mid-terms:

The United States is working on a massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Lots of details are missing from this supposed massive deal:
Here's an older news article that goes into more details about Belarus' Potash:
https://www.rferl.org/a/belarus-potash-exports-barriers-iran-us/33711730.html
“Even if Lithuania opened its port of Klaipeda to Belarusian potash exports, the relatively low current value of potash makes it hard to justify exports through the Baltic and across the Atlantic Ocean, Linville said.” Source
Yeah makes sense he is really worried about the rapidly dropping polls. He made 100 billion dollars in 2 years and put USA in 40 trillion debt. Imagine in another 2 years USA will be 100 trillion in debt and Donny Boy will be the richest man In the world which is his only goal.
Desperate attempt to win votes until they learn Russian potash is of inferior quality next to Canadian and whatever price savings on paper are eliminated when you need more input reap last year's harvest.
A major tenet of project 2025 is to bankrupt small AG and buy the land up for cheap in order to control food.
This was always part of the plan.
Luckily Canada has rich high quality potash and a wait list of international buyers. We'll be fine. USA can starve.
U.S really is plugged right into the Russia oligarch network.
What's going on Canada?
