Blame Canada: Trump threatens increased tariffs for wildfire smoke that has ‘unnecessarily invaded’ U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump is adding his voice to the chorus of Republican politicians who are blaming Canada for wildfire smoke drifting across the border.

Hundreds of active wildfires, most in northwestern Ontario, have triggered air quality warnings for states close to the Great Lakes, stretching from Minnesota to Maryland.

Trump threatened to top up the import tariffs he’s already levied on Canadian goods in response to the smoke that has drifted south of the border.
