Trump says U.S. to continue buying Canadian potash — but wants cheaper price | Globalnews.ca

Canada is the world's leading exporter of potash — a key component of fertilizers — and the United States is its biggest customer.

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?

        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.
