Trump tells Carney to take action on wildfire smoke during World Cup chat

Trump tells Carney to take action on wildfire smoke during World Cup chat, pressing Prime Minister Mark Carney to stop what he described as smoke “poisoning” American air. U.S. President Donald Trump raised wildfire management during appearances together to watch the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday. After the game, Trump said at Joint Base Andrews that he told Carney to stop the fires from coming in and reiterated his warning about possible financial penalties or tariffs. Carney’s office said Monday that he spoke with Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and provided an update on wildfire management for the safety of Canadians and Americans. The article links the smoke to disruptions in Michigan, including beach and pool closures reported after toxic smoke blanketed the region. It also notes Trump’s prior Friday social-media threat tying alleged wildfire costs to Canadian forest management and tariffs.
