President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on April 11, 2026, saying he is closely monitoring fertilizer prices during the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Trump wrote: “I am watching fertilizer prices CLOSELY during our FIGHT FOR FREEDOM in Iran. The United States will not accept PRICE GOUGING from the fertilizer monopoly! American Farmers, we have your back!”
He assured American farmers that his administration will not tolerate any attempts by fertilizer companies to exploit the situation through price gouging. The message comes amid concerns that disruptions in the Middle East, including potential impacts on global supply chains from the Iran conflict, could drive up costs for key agricultural inputs.
Trump’s statement highlights his focus on protecting the US agricultural sector and keeping input costs stable for farmers, even as the country remains engaged in military and diplomatic efforts related to Iran.
The post reflects the administration’s emphasis on supporting domestic agriculture while managing the broader economic effects of the regional crisis.
