# Trump Wants to Increase Fertilizer Purchases from Belarus; Says Prices Are Lower Than Canada's

> President Trump announced on Truth Social that the US is negotiating with Belarus to buy a 'massive' quantity of potash. He said prices would be considerably lower than what the US currently pays Canada, its main supplier. Canada supplied about 79% of US potash imports in 2024, versus 4% from Belarus.

## Why it matters

A shift of potash purchases toward Belarus would pressure Canadian potash pricing and could ease US fertilizer costs, though sanctions and sourcing constraints make the deal uncertain. Potash prices remain elevated after the Ukraine invasion and the Iran war.
