What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

President Donald Trump stated that the United States is working on a "massive" deal to purchase potash from Belarus via his Truth Social network. Trump claimed this potential deal would allow U.S. companies to pay substantially less than they currently do for imports from Canada. However, Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius stated that the U.S. has not made a formal request for the transit of Belarusian fertilizers through Lithuania.
