US President Donald Trump threatened Canada with increased tariffs due to the wildfires, smoke from which has blanketed several major American cities. He posted a corresponding message on Truth Social, APA reports.
"We hold Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their forests and bushland, which is unnecessarily allowing disgusting, dirty, and harmful air quality to enter the United States, which is completely unacceptable. I will be calling Prime Minister [of Canada Mark Carney] today to see if they are taking any action on this," the American leader wrote.
Trump believes Canada refuses to properly manage its forests, "knowing that this refusal will lead to precisely these results." "This is willful negligence, which continues year after year and costs the United States billions of dollars. The costs associated with this pollution must necessarily be added to the tariffs Canada currently pays," he emphasized.
