Trump threatened on Friday to impose additional tariffs on Canada in response to smoke from wildfires, but it remains unclear whether he has the legal authority to implement such tariffs. He wrote on Truth Social: "We demand that Canada take responsibility for its failure to properly manage its forests and underbrush. The United States is being unreasonably invaded by dirty, polluted, and unhealthy air—air that is dangerous and entirely unacceptable!" White House spokesperson Kush Desai stated in a statement that the president "has multiple tariff authorities at his disposal," though he did not address how the government would determine tariff rates. In his post, Trump also mentioned he was prepared to call Canada to discuss the wildfire issue. Formal negotiations on the North American trade agreement between the U.S. and Canada have not yet begun.
