# US eases Belarus sanctions as Trump says he'll help US farmers impacted by Iran war

> The Trump administration eased restrictions on Belarus-linked financial and potash companies on March 26, tied to the prisoner release. The war with Iran has largely halted Persian Gulf nitrogen fertilizer exports, and some US farmers cannot obtain fertilizer at any price. Trump said he plans policies to support farmers.

## Why it matters

Loss of Gulf nitrogen exports is a major fertilizer supply shock that raises farm input costs and may cut US planting. Potash sanctions relief could add some supply, partly offsetting the nitrogen squeeze.
