# US Diplomatic Push for Belarusian Potash Sparks European Resistance

> 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.
