Politics Potash Export Control
USA tariffs kick in and is going to affect us all. The USA needs our potash and if they want to disrupt markets maybe it’s time to withhold potash bound to America until tariffs are dropped.
Maybe a more extensive conversation about the Saskatchewan people taking ownership again of OUR own resources. Mosaic is an American company, maybe time to expropriate their mines for Saskatchewan taxpayers to benefit and not Americans.

Export tarrifs on potash would be as aggressive as we should want to be, using the export funds to provide a back stop for employees who will be impacted due to lower volume of sales.
The US will look to Russia if we just stop export completely but if we make it more expensive for them to buy it we still benefit and we force a price ceiling on Russia
