Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya warned against trading with the Lukashenko government, arguing potash revenue funds repression and Russia's war effort, as the Guardian noted the US had recently thawed relations with Minsk and freed political prisoners.
“Our position is that it is not time to trade with the regime while all the income from potash goes to repression, goes to support of the Russian war machine”

Trump's statement that buying Potash from the brutal Russian-backed dictatorship of Belarus instead of Canada will save money is factually inaccurate. After transportation costs, the US would pay substantially more for Belarusian potash. And even IF pricing made sense, with

Devil's advocate, but the game plan seemed to be that Canada would suffer more in an economic war due to them having a smaller economy. As long as the US can outlast Canada, they would presumably be able to dictate a more one sided deal that would in the long run benefit them more.

Trump makes up his next lie in one of his 3 am Truth Social midnight rants, press media "oh, there must have been a miscommunication". The Hill calling Lukashenka Europe‘s Last Dictator while Putin fakes his next elections and rolls over Ukraine. That is not normal. None of it.

We should have fields of greenhouses in southern AB for vertical farming with CANDU reactors powering them for winter light and heat. Govt can sponsor some costs for building and job creation. Saves a shit ton of water in an area that abuses it for farming too.

Well compared to the US it's still a lot more, considering you don't send any aid at all. You guys are occupied helping Russia, making money off allies and making everything more expensive for everyone losing to Iran. How far you have fallen.

Trump is a liar and everyone knows it. https:// thehill.com/policy/internation al/6102469-trump-lukashenko-potash-deal-clash/amp/ :mastodon:

All the top comments seem to be missing the point that Trump is likely getting the potash from Russia but using Belarus as a front to evade sanction. Big daddy Putin is bailing him out because the Canadians aren’t caving.

How many times does this make where he says something, and the nation he's supposedly negotiated a deal with says it knows nothing about it, and has nothing to do with any of it, and has no idea who he's been talking to?
-
Well it looks like Trump finally realized that potash might actually be important, and Canada might actually have this to hold over their head (and have the ability to starve the US population to death).

Fckn moron. Let’s go half way across the world and ship by sea. Instead of a few hour truck/ train direct access. These own goals are the best own goals. No one else can score them this good.
-
…and gaslight Canadians. The same way he kept saying Canada was responsible for all the fentanyl in the US. Trump is not a serious person and should not be taken seriously.

Just watch some of The Good Liars interviews of MAGA people on youtube. There is a neverending well of absolute fucking morons in that country.

Democrats have been better for the economy since Republicans for a long time. If people have not figured it out by now, they never will.

For a guy complaining about communism he sure seems to like commie leaders such as Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un and now Lukashenko.

So Trump is inconsistent and goes where the money is? That isn't a surprise and your post doesn't read that way.
-
Ya but, can't the same be said for Canada divesting it's trade to Europe as a solution for trading with the US?

No I am talking about how migrating birds can stay in the sky for many days without resting.

Just remember, these fools cant pronounce Belarus let alone point at it on a map.

More likely the U.S. gains member status with Belarus in the Russian Federation.
