BREAKING: Trump’s Canada Potash Pressure Backfires — U.S. Farmers Take the Hit | George Conway

 

This story breaks down how Trump’s pressure on Canadian potash and food exports backfired — and why U.S. farmers ended up paying the price. 

 

We examine how the United States attempted to use agriculture and fertilizer supply as a pressure tool, why that strategy failed, and how Canada quietly adapted in ways that reshaped the market. As Washington escalated economic pressure, Canada didn’t respond with loud retaliation or dramatic threats. Instead, it pivoted — reducing its dependence on the U.S., securing new buyers, and restructuring its potash, food, and agricultural trade in ways that may now be permanent. This analysis looks at how Canadian policymakers and producers leveraged existing trade agreements, expanded production, and opened new markets across Europe and Asia. We also explore the ripple effects on U.S. farmers, supply chains, and American economic influence — and why once these trade relationships shifted, they didn’t simply return. This isn’t just a story about tariffs or fertilizer.

 It’s about how economic power actually works in the real world — and what happens when trade is treated as a weapon instead of a system built on stability and trust.
