Someone finally got through to Trump that Belarus has no potash to spare. All of their production is under contract.

Someone is feeding Trump fake news, and Trump is making very public announcements based on it. The bad intel, one might suspect, is designed to make Trump look foolish, having to backtrack. I wonder if that' someone' is Vance, who desperately wants to evict Trump from the White House after the mid-terms?

If I was Canada I wouldn't sell jack shit to the USA. Then I'd send him a video of myself just dancing happily in a field of potash.

    Yeah, but we kind of need/like some of the stuff you send back. Plus, if we were really aggressive, you could just invade, and then we get to live in a version of Afghanistan with an even worse climate.

    Cutting off your oil or fertilizer is an option, but it's a card we're saving for a long way down the road, basically. For now, we're roughly matching whatever your government does, proportionately.
