> The US sanctioned Belaruskali, the state potash producer that ships much of its output to China, India and Latin America, along with more than a dozen companies tied to President Lukashenko. Belarusian Potash Co., which handles all of the country's potash exports, was not included. The US issued wind-down licenses running to December 8.
