Trump Threatens New Tariffs on Canada Over Wildfire Claims

President-elect Donald Trump accused Canada of “willful negligence” in managing its forests, threatening to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods as punishment for the country’s role in recent wildfires. Trump stated that Canada’s failure to maintain its forests has allowed fires to spread across the border, causing damage to U.S. property and air quality. The proposed tariffs would target key Canadian exports, though specific rates or timelines were not provided. Canadian officials have not yet responded to the accusation.
