CHARLEBOIS: Trump’s Belarus potash gambit: Canada should stop laughing

Trump does not need Belarus to replace Canadian potash. He only needs it to make Canada less indispensable over time. And that should concern Ottawa far more than the headline itself

Donald Trump says the United States is working on a “massive” agreement to purchase potash from Belarus at substantially lower prices than it currently pays Canada. The announcement was quickly dismissed by some Canadian observers as economically unrealistic. That reaction may be premature.

In the Baltics, NATO forces are trying to learn the new way of war

DAUDZEVA, Latvia—Wearing strips of red tape on their helmets, Danish soldiers stealthily moved through the pine forest and then, unleashing a firestorm, overran a position held by Spanish troops.
