So he’ll make it more expensive for American farmers to get the fertilizer they need when they’re already suffering? Not sure what his game is.

80% of their agriculture depends on this. Everyone from the farmers to the rest of the food supply chain will scream, and of course the cost increase will get passed on to consumers at the grocery store, and that’s on top of the crippling inflation they’re already facing.
Putting an export tax on our potash was one of the extreme retaliatory moves our government didn’t have the stomach for. Trump now wants to do that to himself. This should be fun.

Lol, this might be the most idiotic thing he’s ever said. Who wants to tell him that you can’t cause potash to appear within your borders by way of tariffing Canada’s imports?

Let me guess. Fentanyl and national security. Ironic that as he turns to socialism to save the farmers he hurt, he threatens to stab them with the other hand.

Hey American farmers, get ready for another brilliant policy decision from your great leader. This one’s going to hurt…

He wants regular farms to suffer so they can be devalued and forced to sell, and the purchased at a discount by corporations.

Tariffing Canadian potash is akin to pointing a loaded revolver at your own head and threatening to shoot because you’re so fucking crazy

It’s deeply sad and troubling, on a daily basis, to see how poorly this administration honors the US‘ closest friend, neighbor and ally.

Trump commits sedition with every stroke of the oversized Sharpie…. And Americans standby, increasingly hungry, waiting for their tariff checks… As a Canadian, I’m gobsmacked.

Good, but we should just tell Trump that if he wants American farmers to pay higher prices on potash we will gladly slap an export tax on it, no need for him to get another Executive Order out of the book.
Win/win, we get to keep the extra cash and he has another EO that he can use to declare war on the Lesotho navy for all the drugs they import to white South Africans. Maybe this is the one that will win him the real Peace Prize.
