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?

    Canadian potash producers should give the U.S. special pricing, I agree.

    200%.

      Lets not be arbitrary here. Just add an extra 0 to whatever tarrifs Trump has on us. Then we don’t even need to change the law if he removes them.

          Many Anglos would mistakenly that for 20%. The period is usually a comma in english. 20,000%

            TIL, in Dutch is it exactly the opposite – comma’s are for decimals, periods for large numbers. But funnily we would agree 20.000 is 1.000 x 20,000 or 1,000 x 20.000, but not 1,000 x 20,000 or 1.000 x 20.000.

      No, 25% off the MSRP, which is 50% higher. Idiots fall for this every day. Or change the price from $396.50 to $396.48, Walmart style.

      Or charge 1/3 load price for 1/4 load, 4 is bigger than three so they will see the bargain.

      If I remember correctly one one of the big 3 potash companies just decided to stop selling to the US, have no idea if they are still doing the not selling action.
