U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed Canadian wildfire smoke has poisoned American air and suggested Canada should pay damages or face tariffs as he continued his feud with the country’s prime minister.

Smoke from hundreds of fires burning in Ontario spread across a wide stretch of the country beginning Thursday, reaching the Midwest, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic.

Residents in affected states were told for days to stay inside where they could.

It is the second time in a week that Trump, 80, has linked the smoke to trade measures.

He previously suggested Canada was not doing enough to fight the fires as haze settled over U.S. cities, the Daily Beast https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-makes-bonkers-threat-as-smoke-blankets-swathe-of-country/" rel="">reported last Friday.
