Trump's Potash Plan Just Backfired: US Farmers Are in Crisis While Canada Profits | Bruce Heyman

 

Trump’s promise to "make our own fertilizer" just hit a brutal reality check. In a move meant to punish foreign imports, new tariffs on Canadian potash have sent input costs skyrocketing for American farmers—while Canada’s export market barely flinches. Former U.S. Ambassador Bruce Heyman breaks down why this trade war is a self-inflicted wound for the U.S. agriculture sector. 

 

With the U.S. relying on Canada for nearly 95% of its potash, the administration's gamble has left the American Heartland paying the price. In this video, we analyze the fallout of the 2025 fertilizer tariffs, the impossible margins facing U.S. row-crop farmers, and how Canada is positioned to profit from the disruption.
