Trump demands damages from Canada over heavy smoke from Ontario wildfires Parts of the US have been enveloped in dense smoke from hundreds of fires in Ontario, prompting warnings to residents to stay indoors “I have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but we’ve got to stop the fires up there,” Trump told reporters after he returned from the World Cup game in New Jersey. “Maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.” Heavy smoke from hundreds of fires in Ontario enveloped a swathe of the United States from the Midwest to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic starting from Thursday, prompting days of warnings to US residents to stay indoors wherever possible. At one point on Saturday, the smoke made New York the most polluted city in the world, followed closely by Toronto and Washington, according to air tracker IQAir.
