Duty-Cut Senator Ousted
Republican Senator Roger Marshall, sponsor of a bill to repeal countervailing duties on Moroccan fertilizers, lost his seat to Democrat Adam Hamilton in the midterm elections, which gave Democrats a majority in both houses of Congress. But his defeat does not end efforts to repeal the duties. Nor does Donald Trump’s decision to suspend their collection for up to eight months eliminate them permanently. In a final review, the Commerce Department estimated the weighted-average subsidy rate for the OCP Group and other exporters at 20.04%—but that does not mean a new duty at that rate has been imposed or that the suspension has ended. The duties’ fate remains tied to legislation and the outcome of trade reviews, including a hearing scheduled for April 1, 2027. The election did not resolve the tension between protecting U.S. manufacturers and lowering fertilizer costs for farmers.
