Trump attacked Canada over its *wildfires*, accusing Canada of polluting America's air: www.cbc.ca/news/politic... 53/cbc.caTrump threatens increased tariffs for wildfire smoke that has 'unnecessarily invaded' U.S. | CBC NewsU.S. President Donald Trump is adding his voice to the chorus of Republican politicians who are blaming Canada for wildfire smoke drifting across the border. 115914
