Trump Blames Canada as Wildfire Smoke Threatens US Air Quality

More than 800 wildfires are burning across Canada, including roughly 190 in northern Ontario. Scientists widely link the surge in fires to climate change. Thick smoke has created hazardous air quality not only in parts of Canada but also in several US states, including Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, and New York. The pollution is raising concerns ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final, which will be held at an open-air stadium in New Jersey. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has blamed Canada for its forest management and threatened to impose additional tariffs.
