Trump threatens to increase Canadian tariffs over wildfire smoke pollution 18-Jul-2026, 15:42 18 Jul 2026, 15:42 Dense wildfire smoke billowing down from Canada and northern Minnesota has set off unhealthy air quality alerts across the US. Meanwhile 16 active fires were burning in the Superior National Forest, on Minnesota’s border with Canada. “The forecast for erratic weather, shifting winds and the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and thunderstorms will be a challenge for firefighting efforts,” the US forest service said. So, he explained, “when there’s an ignition we see these really large-scale, persistent burning where these fires can burn for weeks and weeks at a time through summer.” The blazes were worsening on Friday in Canada, especially in Ontario, according to authorities there.
