The United States is pressing Lithuania to ease restrictions on transit of Belarusian potash through the port of Klaipėda. Lithuania and other European officials oppose relaxing the restrictions, while EU sanctions on handling Belarusian goods remain in force; the reported effort aims to create a cheaper potash supply option for US farmers.
If transit restrictions are eased, additional Belarusian supply could reach US buyers and reduce reliance on Canadian potash, putting downward pressure on potash prices. Continued opposition and sanctions would limit that potential supply relief.
