Trump Threatens To Add Canada Wildfire Smoke Costs To Tariffs
He brands Canada's forest neglect Willful Negligence, puts the yearly toll in the billions, and says he will phone the prime minister.
- Trump accuses Canada of refusing "basic Forest Management and Debris Removal" for years running.
- He calls the recurring smoke "Willful Negligence" costing the US "Billions of Dollars," calling the toll incalculable.
- Trump says the pollution cost must be added to the tariffs Canada is currently paying.
Why it matters: A complaint about wildfire smoke that closes on a tariff demand was never only about the smoke.
