President Donald Trump on Friday vowed to confront Canada over the North American wildfires that have enveloped swaths of the United States in a smoky haze.
Calling the situation "totally unacceptable," Trump accused Ottawa of failing to adequately address the situation, which has sent air quality to dangerous levels in major U.S. cities for multiple days.
The costs inflicted on the U.S. "must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Trump added that he plans to call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney later Friday "to find out what they are going to do about it."

What about the Minnesota fires or are they minor?
It is awful here in Michigan. I do not remember this happening before. I would not be surprised if Canada is doing the same thing as the California a-holes.
It is down here in Indiana too. Our air quality today has been labeled “unhealthy”.
What changed in the last few years to make every summer stink?
You know the enviros will say climate change etc.
What “costs inflicted on the US” ??

ARSON.
Another Justin promise made in 2021, but obviously never lived up to.
Also a CO2 markup.
Think of all that CO2 produced!!!
OMG, these Canadians are denying my children their future!

Will these fools realize that most of this globo-homo enviro lunacy is really just exploitation of this topic to push a social and economic agenda? Probably not.
im right outside Detroit...never saw anything like it was yesterday. Today its much better, but yesterday was incredible.
That threat is just stupid. Canada would be right to make the same threat against the U.S. for the wildfire smoke originating from wildfires here.
U.S. wildfires have occasionally crossed into Canada but have not spread into major Canadian cities, while Canadian wildfires have frequently impacted populated areas in the United States, especially through widespread smoke.
This wildfire is not a matter of negligence on the part of Canada. No need to respond politically.
To hell with Canada!
Boundry Waters Canoe Area.
It encompasses areas of MN and Canada.
My brother was one of the lead foresters who did the forest inventory and appraisal for Kimberly Clark back in the 60s when the federal government took that land to create the BWCA.
Kimberly Clark was in the process of putting in roads to manage those forest lands untill the LBJ administration decided to lock it up into wilderness. Canada also did the same to satisfy the eco freaks desires.
KC had around 115 thousand acres up there along with a few other timber companies.
They had to hire an Indian bush pilot to fly them into some areas it was so remote.
When he got back to the Kimberlands office at Norway Mi, he predicted that if that region ever got to burning, they’d never put it out because of the vast area of spruce budworm killed timber. He also cautioned all the timber companies that the spruce budworm would spread and encompass all of N WI, UP of MI, northern Lower Michigan and eastward across the northern USA and southern Canada. It has.
The BWCA is a wilderness designation. Nothing will be done to try a put out those fires. NOTHING. Do you people understand? Its wilderness and its left to nature. The only time they’ll fight that fire is if it breaks out onto non wilderness dedignated land.
So Trump needs to get an education and take every dam inch of these areas, as well as BLM and USFS, away from federal government control and turn the management of those lands BACK TO THE LOCAL COUNTIES. If the counties fail to manage them for fire control, then its their problem.
This wildfire is not a matter of negligence on the part of Canada. “
You sure about that? I have never seen it like this, and I have been a senior citizen for quite a while.
