Russia could benefit from Donald Trump's next decision. It's about fertilizers
Ukrainian officials claim the Trump administration is offering economic benefits to Russia, potentially funding its ongoing war in Ukraine. U.S. representatives justify this by citing American interests, suggesting that trade agreements could persuade Russia to end the conflict. Reports indicate that the U.S. may ease sanctions on Russian fertilizer imports, which are not directly sanctioned, complicating transactions due to restrictions on banks and shipping. The Kremlin seeks to alleviate export limitations on agricultural products, arguing that these barriers hinder its access to global markets. Concerns arise that Washington might make concessions to Moscow regarding fertilizer deals, which could impact U.S.-Canada relations and agricultural costs ahead of the midterm elections.
