Summary
President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke that has drifted into U.S. cities, according to a proposed bill. The legislation would require the president to determine within 30 days whether Canadian wildfires harmed U.S. air quality and whether the Canadian government failed to take adequate action to prevent, mitigate, or contain such events. Trump has repeatedly used tariffs as a pressure tool during his second term.
In the U.S. so far this year, more than 40,000 fires have burned 3.7 million acres. The smoke contains hazardous chemicals like benzene and formaldehyde, both classified as Group 1 human carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence they can cause cancer in humans.
