5:55Now PlayingDonald Trump wants Canada to pay damages for wildfire smoke crossing the border. After speaking with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump said Canada needed to stop the fires from “coming in and poisoning our air.” He suggested Canada should pay damages or face additional tariffs.
The problem with that theory is that smoke does not recognize national borders. Canada has also issued air-quality warnings because smoke from fires in Washington State and Oregon was drifting north. Canadian firefighters and aircraft have repeatedly helped the United States during major wildfire emergencies, and Canadian pilot Nicholas Dale died while fighting a wildfire on the Colorado-Utah border, leaving behind a wife and 2 sons.
Meanwhile, entire Canadian communities have faced evacuation and destruction as fires burn across the country.
This is a public-health crisis being converted into another Trump blame-and-tariff performance. The atmosphere does not take phone calls from presidents, and it does not stop at customs.
