Trump wants payment from Canada for 'unhealthy air' from wildfires
President Trump is threatening to raise the tariff level on Canadian goods due to the burden of smoky air that is wafting into the U.S. from wildfires in Ontario.
Mr. Trump said the U.S. is “being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air,” and he will demand an explanation from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
“I will call the Prime Minister during the day to find out what they are going to do about it. The cost is incalculable!” Mr. Trump wrote Friday social media.
The Canadian government this month reported hundreds of wildfires, with dry conditions in northern Ontario contributing to some of the worst.
The smoke is drifting southward and blanketing major American cities such as Detroit, Cleveland and New York City, resulting in hazy and eerie landscapes.
