Trump’s Fertilizer Deal: Russia Replaces Canada, Fueling Ukraine War Concerns
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe condemned a U.S. plan to restore Russia’s fertilizer exports, deeming it funding for the war in Ukraine. This action, he stated, has significantly altered Saskatchewan’s view of the U.S., prompting consideration of reduced dependence. NDP Leader Carla Beck criticized Moe’s previous inaction and highlighted the potential devastating impact on Saskatchewan’s potash industry from increased Russian competition. Moe acknowledged the need for a stronger provincial response to U.S. actions, although specifics remain undisclosed. The ongoing trade disputes and tariffs between Canada and the U.S. further complicate the situation.
