The United States will restore Russia's access to agricultural and fertilizer exports to encourage a ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia, as stated in a White House press briefing. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe criticized the U.S. plan, claiming it "funds Ukrainian death and suffering" due to anticipated market impacts on local agriculture. Following the announcement, agricultural stocks declined, with some experts warning that lifting sanctions could result in a surge of Russian potash in the market, negatively affecting Canadian producers and local agriculture.
