President Donald Trump on Monday declared an emergency aimed at protecting the U.S. food supply and temporarily suspended import duties on certain Moroccan fertilizer products.<\/p>\n
Under the presidential emergency declaration, phosphate fertilizer imported from Morocco will no longer face tariffs for up to eight months or until the emergency declaration is terminated.<\/p>\n
“The proclamation declares an emergency regarding threats to the availability of sufficient supplies of fertilizers to meet America\u2019s agricultural demand,” the declaration stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This proclamation will ensure that American farmers have access to a sufficient and timely supply of phosphate fertilizers in the near term to mitigate any significant risks to the domestic food supply.”<\/p>\n

The document cited recent overseas conflicts and trade disputes as factors that have disrupted global supply chains and affected access to critical fertilizers needed by U.S. farmers.<\/p>\n
“President Trump believes that American farmers must maintain reliable access to key fertilizers to mitigate significant risks to food production, safeguard national security, and ensure a stable domestic food supply,” the declaration stated.<\/p>\n
The tariff suspension is considered a short-term measure as the administration works with American companies to expand domestic fertilizer production and reduce the nation\u2019s reliance on foreign suppliers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The declaration is one of several actions Trump has taken to “support American farmers and drive prices down for hardworking families,” according to the White House fact sheet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The White House highlighted the president\u2019s Working Families Tax Cuts Act, saying the law provided “historic relief” to farmers by allowing them to write off new equipment costs, creating a permanent 20% tax deduction for small businesses, and letting farmers delay\u00a0capital gains taxes when selling farmland to another farmer.<\/p>\n
“President Trump\u2019s Working Families Tax Cuts Act delivered historic relief to American farmers: Made the virtual elimination of the death tax permanent, benefiting more than 2 million family farms,” it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February 2026, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to protect the U.S. supply of elemental phosphorus, a critical material used in both farming and military equipment.<\/p>\n
In June 2026, Trump signed an executive order aimed at accelerating the development of agricultural technologies and strengthening the nation\u2019s food security.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The White House added that Trump\u2019s “America First Trade Agenda has dramatically increased global market access, strengthened farmer incomes, supported rural jobs, and reduced the agricultural trade deficit.”<\/p>\n
