Lukashenko just dunked on Trump's potash deal
Trump announced a "massive deal" to buy potash from Belarus at prices "substantially less" than Canada. Lukashenko's response: Belarus doesn't have the supply. Everything is already contracted out. He basically said no.
Being fact-checked by an actual dictator. That's the baseline now.
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko says Belarus cannot supply potash to the United States under Donald Trump's proposed "deal" with Belarus. Lukashenko said today, "Even if we wanted to supply somewhere else, Western markets, we just don't have those volumes, everything has been contracted." Donald Trump announced on Truth Social earlier that he was working on a "massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada." It appears that Lukashenko just counter-signalled Trump's announcement.
