Trump Threatens Canada Tariffs Over Wildfire Smoke

Trump warns Canada of tariffs over wildfire smoke polluting US air, citing "wilful negligence" in forest management and demanding compensation. US President Donald Trump has threatened Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney with tariffs if Canada fails to control wildfire smoke drifting into the United States. Trump accused Canada of "wilful negligence" in forest management, claiming the smoke is "poisoning" American air and causing economic damage. Hundreds of active wildfires in Canada have degraded air quality in US states like Minnesota, Michigan, and New York, with Detroit recording the worst global air quality. Carney has emphasized shared climate responsibilities, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged the US to send firefighting resources instead of imposing penalties.
