Fertilizer stocks tumble after Trump signals Belarus potash deal

President Donald Trump announced that the United States is negotiating a deal to secure fertilizer from Belarus. This move comes amid an escalating trade war with Canada, where Washington and Prime Minister Mark Carney have exchanged tariffs. The US pivot toward Belarus for potash supplies aims to mitigate domestic pain and could potentially reshape global trade dynamics, challenging Canada's current dominance in the market and altering existing geopolitical alliances. Consequently, fertilizer stocks have tumbled following these signals.
