U.S. President Donald Trump told White House pool reporters on Sunday that he has a good relationship with Prime Minister Mark Carney, but that Carney has to “stop these fires from coming in and poisoning our air.” He suggested that Canada pay damages to the U.S., or face additional tariffs. The pair were together Sunday when Carney was in New Jersey to watch the FIFA Men’s World Cup Final. (The Logic)

Talking point: The comments suggest Trump has not backed down from his post on Truth Social on Friday afternoon, when he wrote that he would hold Canada accountable for the costs of wildfire smoke by adding to trade tariffs. Carney said on social media Sunday morning that he met with wildfire response teams in Ottawa and that the government is “mobilizing” 5,000 firefighters and nearly 300 aircraft. Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who has faced political pressure over Ontario’s firefighting budget, called Trump’s comments “rubbish” but said the country needs a national firefighting strategy.
