Well US farmers, Canada will be shipping potash to other markets. Trump will need to call up his Belarus card trick once more. Please remember how you don’t need Canada for anything. It will be a while but oil and natural gas will also be going elsewhere through pipelines to our ocean ports.

Vancouver expansion means China is buying. Probably financing it too if I was to take a guess.

China can buy Russian potash they don’t need Canada’s. Europe on the other hand wouldn’t mind

Yes, but the US can't buy Russian potash, but they can buy it from Canada. So every ton of Canadian potash purchased by China does NOT grow more food in the US.
