“We cannot allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons; otherwise, you’ll see some very bad things happen. That’s why we went there and stopped them.

The global market may face a shortage of high-protein wheat suitable for breadmaking during the 2026/27 marketing season. Initial assessments of the quality of the new wheat crop in the European Union and neighboring countries paint a rather bleak picture. The reason is a reduction in the use of nitrogen fertilizers due to the military conflict and the logistical crisis in the Middle East.
