Trump threatens tariff hike over Canada wildfire smoke

U.S. President Donald Trump has joined Republican lawmakers in blaming Canada for wildfire smoke drifting across the border. In a statement, Trump threatened to increase tariffs on Canadian goods, calling the smoke an “unnecessary invasion” of American air. The comments come as smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to cause poor air quality in several U.S. states, including Michigan. Trump did not specify the size or timing of the proposed tariff increase. Critics say the threat is a political response rather than a practical solution to the cross-border pollution.
