Trump Threatens Canada with Pollution Tariffs Over Wildfire Smoke

President Trump criticized Canada over spreading wildfire smoke, threatening to add pollution costs to existing tariffs. On July 20, he signed three proclamations imposing additional 50% tariffs on various Canadian imports in response to alleged trade discrimination against the U.S. The administration is utilizing an untested legal provision to apply these duties, reigniting a major trade clash between the two nations.
