U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says President Donald Trump‘s threat to impose new tariffs over smoke from Canadian wildfires should be taken seriously, arguing the ongoing haze is causing economic damage in the United States.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires has blanketed several major American cities, including Detroit, Washington and Chicago, prompting Trump to lash out at Canada on social media Friday.
“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He said the wildfire smoke amounts to “Willful Negligence” and is “becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars.” He added that the cost of the pollution “is incalculable” and should be “added to the tariffs Canada currently pays.”
About 30 minutes after Trump’s post, Hoekstra sat down with Global News for an exclusive interview, where he defended the president’s position.
“The president is saying, yeah, I’m holding Canada accountable. We need to fix this,” Hoekstra said.
Hoekstra would not say how large any potential tariffs could be or what legal mechanism the administration might use to impose them. But he said Canada could face consequences if the issue is not addressed.
“There are potential consequences if we don’t get to a resolution,” he said.

The ambassador pointed to economic and environmental impacts in the United States from the smoke. “Businesses are closing, because they don’t feel it’s safe for their workers to go into work. You know, bees are not pollinating,” Hoekstra said. “It is (also) affecting the tourism industry.”
The frustration is not limited to the White House. Republican House members Jack Bergman, John James, Lisa McClain and John Moolenaar sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney this week calling for what they described as immediate action by the Canadian government.
“American lungs are paying the price for Canadian inaction, year after year,” the lawmakers wrote. “Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.”
Trump has previously threatened additional tariffs against Canada when frustrated with Canadian policies, including a proposed 10 per cent levy linked to the Ontario government’s anti-tariff advertising. Those threats were never implemented.
Asked whether the latest warning should be viewed differently, Hoekstra said, “Not taking the president of the United States serious — do that at your own risk.”
The U.S. Ambassador to Canada added if smoke from the wildfires continue to blanket New Jersey ahead of the World Cup final on Sunday, President Trump will not hesitate to ask the game be postponed.

- Canada must avoid concessions in U.S. trade talks, dairy farmers warn
“If the pollution is so bad that it’s dangerous to the players or it’s dangerous to the fans, the first person to say don’t hold the game will be the President of the United States,” Hoekstra said.
He also said the frustration is growing in the U.S. over recurring smoke from the wildfires north of the border. He said one proposal under discussion is having Canadian officials testify before Congress and state legislatures to help lawmakers better understand the unique challenges of fighting large fires in remote areas of Canada.
Hoekstra said the idea has been raised with the Prime Minister’s Office and Canada’s ambassador to the United States, Mark Wiseman. However, a senior government source told Global News Canadian officials have no plans to testify at public hearings in the United States.
The criticism from Trump and his ambassador comes despite the administration’s own moves to scale back U.S. climate action, even as scientists continue to link climate warming to more frequent and intense wildfire conditions.
In February, the Trump administration revoked scientific findings that have long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations.
Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate deal in 2025, removing the world’s biggest historic emitter from global efforts to fight climate change for the second time in a decade.

US smoke has, many times, come North. We were not happy about it either, but, tarriffs were not even considered. Instead, send some help, as we have done in the past!
Believe Canada can also tariff USA for hurricanes that comes from south of its border.
Also Canada can charge for the rain bearing clouds that goes to USA which otherwise makes it a desert.
Why does Global keep pretending to interview him? A news interview means asking tough questions, not softball ones. The role of the media is to speak truth to power, not bow down to it.
Kick this idiot out of the country
And just like that, the smoke thins and the world cup final can play on.
Trump is now using threats of tariffs to defeat “climate change”.
Leftard governments and voters are to blame for EVERYTHING wrong in this world.

How do you know his IP address is Russian and not American, or Canadian? Speculation?
Great comment and a great name.
I searched Gord Hasay in the Toronto phone directory and got nothing. Fake name.
I just got facked by donkey
If Gord Hasay is in fact your real name…
To many of the people who comment here, your opinion is worthless because you are too cowardly to use your real name.
While Canada is burning, Carney is nowhere to be found. Talk about poor leadership.
How do you know his IP address is Russian and not American, or Canadian? Speculation?
Nikki is a russian troll who doesn’t even bother to hide his russian isp address.
Enjoying your war?
Great whataboutism from the poster with the vulgar name below. Canada IS to blame for how it has poorly handled the fires in it own territory so far. Worst in the world.
currently 397 fires in the u.s. 900 in canada, the land mass to be about the same given more lakes and rivers canadas’ area currently burning is 6.4 times greater than u.s.
Send this asswipe home. Trumps got room up his ass now Lyndsey Graham is gone.
So, whose to blame for the death of one our firefighters? USA is. Whose to blame for the deaths of hundreds of Iranian girls and other children, USA is. Whose to blame for the worlds division and all the war in it? The USA. Whose to blame for electing a president whose is a p*do among other things, the USA.
Whose to blame for high prices of everything, inflation, world oil shortages, food shortages etc etc etc. THE USA!
@Catherine Smith – Millions of Americans are suffering because of Trump’s inaction. Trump needs to be held accountable and punished with sanctions and impeachment.
Canada is a laughing stock and has the worst fires in the world. Russia, Brazil, and so many others do a better job than Canada. Enough of the Elbows Up garbage and get to work on things.
@Vic:
But Danielle Smith was great firing helicopter firefighters and letting Jasper burn down eh?
Fires are provincial goof.
@libs: That shows how stupid you are.
Fires are provincial goof.
Oh well. Carney will save us.
It is a fact that both the Carney and Ford regimes have done a poor job dealing with these forest fires, making th le situation worse.
@Ben. My point is just validated. Thank you. Time for Canada to grow up and stop making excuses.
Americans are losers..
@Joanne stone. Respectfully, we just blame lumber tariffs, steel tariffs, auto tariffs, aluminum tariffs, mushroom tariffs, etc. on US/Trump. The US/Trump broke a trade agreement Trump signed. How’s that war in Iran going? As a Canadian, I’m observing the US losing, like it did in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam.
Canada getting a taste of its own medicine own medicine as they like to blame Trump and MAGA on all the problems in Canada.
Mr. Hoekstra, like many American politicians, displays an utter lack of basic empathy for the people whose lives are in danger, who are losing their livelihoods and communities here. The wildfire crisis has caused massive, catastrophic damage inside Canada, dwarfing the cross-border economic disruptions cited by the U.S. Ambassador. And, the United States itself has not successfully managed its way out of the wildfire crisis. So, clean up your own backyard first before invoking your entitled neighbour perspective.
PH is as much of a no mind as his boss! Maybe we could borrow their large fan to blow the smoke ‘where the sun don’t shine’!
This guy is such an idiot he should go back to the USA he is a trabul ambassador for the US government and the people of America
How delusional Trudeau and Geebo were as they said these events would not happen if Canadians paid a carbon tax
His suggestion that anyone can control acts of Nature is clear evidence Trump is dilusional, and so is his handmaiden Pete Hoekstra.
Nutters. Kick Hoekstra out. Rude and disrespectful Trump toady.
Canadians don’t like Hoekstra and Trump as they are calling out negligent Canadian authorities that should be held accountable for there incompetence and dereliction of duty, namely Carney and Ford.
How ironic. Canadians make fun of Trump but forget their 3 stooges, Carney, Ford, and the PM before Carney Trudeau
Canada has been negligent and neeed to pay and be held accountable. We have a very negative view of Canadians down here.

95% of Canadian smoke is going into the USA. 5% of USA smoke is going into Canada Meanwhile Canadians make false equivalency and excuses for their leaders lack of action. Smoke from Canada is ruining our summer. Please admit it and do something about instead of nothing which seems to be the Canadian way.
And just what shall we do f*cktard? Jesus you “Murikans’ are a stupid lot.
Will Lard Ford go “Elbows Up” and help with the firefighting efforts.
@Lloyd. Not all trees can be harvested for lumber. Your comment is delusional at best.

Can we do the same when we get smoke coming up from US fires?
@Jeremy Kremer – spell much?
Trump himself is a major cause of the smoke problem happening in the USA. His unwarranted softwood lumber duties imposed on Canada are resulting in fewer trees being harvested and sold to the USA. Another example of be careful what you wish for except if someone were to try to explain it to him it would go over his head into space.
Canada doesn’t care were gunna smoke the Americans out. We are aligned with China. Our country is a launching pad for the Chinese now. Enjoy a taste of Liberalism America!!
Canadians are arrogant and don’t like to be called out. All major Midwest and NE USA cities have polluted air all because of Canadian incompetence and inaction.
Trump should just hold his breath…and hold it..and hold it…
.
Canada has done nothing to prevent forest fires.. Just like they have done nothing to prevent the scourge of fentanyl being brought into our country by dirty Mexicans
@Poder. Are Elbows Up Canadians helping with the fire fighting.
Carney should stop flying around the world for any matter if he is so worried about so called climate change. How much aviation fuel exhaust has he spewed into the atmosphere
Elbows Up Canadians comments are so triggering on the comment section. Canadians sure love to to tell other countries what to do and project their pious virtous attitude. Can dish it out but can’t take it.
Howard Pim: You are the epitome of what is wrong with Canada. Disgraceful.
Anonymous – So? This doesn’t take away the fact how poorly Canada has done containing the fires in NW Ontario. Seems Canadians have excuses for everything.
As of July 17, 2026, there are 559 active wildfires burning across 26 states in the U.S., affecting approximately 747,000 acres.
Overview of Active Fires
The National Interagency Fire Center reports 559 active wildfire incidents nationwide, with 13 fires over 90% contained. These fires are spread across 26 states and territories, with the largest fires occurring in Utah, Colorado, and Oregon, among others
Canada is a total embarrassment. They can’t pull the trigger on anything.
So after us sending firefighters to THEIR country to help them during fires, particularly California, they’re going to put tariffs on us for “allowing” our smoke to enter their country. Apparently they have an invisible wall preventing THEIR smoke from entering Canada. maybe they should have erected it long ago after polluting Canada for years from the Detroit Zug Island pollution that everyone will soon get close up view from the new Gordie Howe multi billion dollar bridge, paid for by Canada, that still wasn’t good enough deal either.
I’m embarrassed by this jerk masquerading as President. If the smoke is so terrible, offer help. Send ICE up there to work on the fire lines. Canada is the best!
somebody needs to put the Ambassador on a plane and show him what northern Canada looks like. eg remote and inaccessible. While he’s taking the flight you could remind him that Canada has no more manageable control over many remote wildfires than the USA has over theirs, or Mount St. Helens for that matter.
For the last 5 years, Canadas CO2 from Forest Fires is 50-150% more than the USA. Very bad neighbors.
Millions of Americans are suffering because of Canadas inaction. Canada needs to be held accountable and punished with sanctions and boycotts.
Why am I not surprised. The chief grifter and his gang of sycophants will try and capitalize on everything including “acts of God”. . Hundreds of Canadian firefighters and support staff have been deployed in recent years to battle major blazes in western states, including California. The United States is truly a toxic cancer on the planet.
It’s Nature’s way of adding a touch of Karma, as a warning to the inhumanities that have been taking to much advantage with it for to long.
Go off and die Hoekstra
Funny that the moron who denies climate change in moaning over the results of it.
Smoke. I live in SE British Columbia. Today we are breathing smoke from a forest fire in Idaho. I guess we could whine and threaten but we send help if requested and move on.
Trump and Hoeksta are at a level of stupidity that is only matched by Trump supporters. How do you prevent lightning strikes and fight fires in remote, dense forests with no access? What a pair of idiots.
@Ali: That’s for trump, not Dems.
Needs a red clown nose.
Golfer1: Perhaps Canada should grow up and manage itself? You ungrateful losers have some nerve asking the USA for help whilst behaving like a bunch of toddlers booing the Star Spangled Banner. Grow up!
As China and the good’ole USA are the highest emitters contributing to climate change, they should be tariffed by Canada until they do something to correct that instead of whining about smoke coming down from Canada. And Hoekstra is just another spokesperson for Trump and his crazy ideas. Tell him to take a hike.
Controlling or stopping lightning is scientifically impossible. Expecting anyone to manage that level of destruction is completely unreasonable. It is incomprehensible to threaten someone over a natural disaster, especially while refusing to help. Canada didn’t hesitate to help the US during 9/11, the California wildfires, or too many other events to count.
Can we tarrif them for the tick invasion across insecure borders?
Carney’s been preaching about climate change forever. Surely all the billions spent prepare us to deal with heightened wild fires? Surely we have this. Surely the ‘investments’ weren’t squandered. Right?
Curious isn’t it Trump wasn’t concerned when smoke from fires in California, Montana, Idaho, Wisconsin, Michigan etc invaded Canada with their toxic fumes.
All the water bombers Trudeau promised in 2021 have not even been put on order yet.
Grow up DJT and USA! Most fires, especially in boreal forests are an act of God! If you really want something done, send some firefighter and water ombers to help!
Carneys emergency preparedness minister is no where to be found. Her whole job is to deal with situations like this. She needs to resign.
To all the people blaming PM Carney and Premier Ford for the smoke, how many are volunteering to go fight the forest fires caused by lightening strikes (an act of God?)
The incompetence shown with Carney and Ford letting the fire get so out of control is truly a dereliction of duty. They need to be held accountable. How many citizens will suffer long term respiratory problems because of their inaction.
MAY BE Trump should take his own advice and stop polluting the world in his own country and world wide, where he likes to kill people, by bombing places, because he thinks it’s a game.
Send this Yankee moron back to Murica with his tail between his legs.
I don’t care who is in the White House, but Ford and Carney have done a poor job and let these fires get out of control.
So are we back to Trump’s brainless idea of raking the forest? Like it’s just so easy to fire proof millions of square miles of mainly remote forests that more often than not catch fire due to lightening.. Feel free to quit carping about it and send some help, just like Canada very often sends the US help. But no, make this political and an excuse to do the 51st routine. Boycott all things USA
Well Pete, we hold your boss responsible for ruining the world and we intend to tariff him into the ground.
Canada is a disaster in every way. Will the people ever wake up and realize they have been fooled by the Globalists that have completely destroyed their way if life? Probably not, the brainwashing is right out of 1984.
It is Canadas fault they do nothing for prevention and most of these fires are human caused.
Global = yellow journalism
I don’t understand why Global airs these “interviews” which are just a platform for Hoekstra to say whatever he wants. Why no pushback? Does he understand the size and remoteness of the boreal forest? Does he understand that climate change is driving the increase and that the US is decimating environmental protections? Does he have any real knowledge of forest management? The interviewers don’t ask any hard questions, they just let him spew – no wonder people are cynical about the media.
bunch of crazy yanks, you all have gone stupid
Why are we giving this POS airtime and attention? He is nothing but a Trump lackey and does not deserve to spew his hateful rhetoric inside of our borders.
Canadians like to immediately make the link between fires and fossil fuels – Americans don’t. Fact that they are human caused, and planned , doesn’t seem to matter.
#fuckofftrump
What a terrible story. No questioning of the nonsense. The US has more wildfires BTW. What are they doing about their fires. Canadian sovereignty has nothing to do with the US and our government has no interest in testifying in some US kangaroo court. The US continues to cut environmental protections in their own country because only money matters to them. Hoekstra should be removed from Canada.
Hoekstra and Trump doing an amazing job.
Geebo said paying carbon tax will prevent this
Canada is so reactionary and complacent just like when Geebo and Trudeau failed to act and Jasper was turned into ashes.
That’s a great solution. Increase tariffs so the American people can pay more for imported Canadian goods. That’ll solve the smoke problem…right?
Considering Trumps only avenue for tariffs is under the Trade Expansion Act what will the claim be? Canada is illegally subsiding smoke making our smoke cheaper than their smoke?
Trump parrot. Nothing more. Quiet Piggy and go home!
What a job..having someone else telling you what to say.
oh yes I believe everything the democrats and liberal glooobal say. TDS is very very strong with those dudes.

Counter-sue the U.S. for decades of purposeful air pollution affecting Canada
Hoekstra is a persona non grata
He should have been banned from Canada long ago
Why does the news media keep interviewing the US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra? He has nothing good to say about Canada. Feels we should just capitulate to Donald Trump. His comments about the Gordie Howe Bridge were ridiculous. Canada put the money up front to build the bridge. Don’t say we didn’t.
This just proves how stupid Trump is !
Just another piece of garbage like all the trumpets n@zies
I guess Trump can control the lightning too, if we put a tariff on his stupidity we would all be rich
We suppose the yanks think we all..hosers , up in canader and not have fires ah burnin outta control. Where Bob and Doug?
There are 400 to 500 fires currently burning in the US. Canada and the world sent help in last big one. Take care of your own fires first you Orange dictator. Guess what? Your children and their children will be hit ten fold fires and smoke filled air because of right nuts in action. Enjoy the smoke!
I look out my window and see smoke from a fire in Idaho. Trump is a new order of stupid.
Sunny Lee, our politicians are week pathetic people. Can’t even stand up to the Natives
I’ve come to the conclusion that ALL of Trumps wankers are absolutely braindead hillbillies. Yeah, we will just fan that smoke away and get the HAARP vehicle to seed the clouds for rain. USA and its braindead leadership can pound sand and many other things. Cant we expel that jokestra Hoekstra?
Be such a pleasure when Trump and his gang of azzholes are finished as they follow Trump over the cliff’s edge. Maybe we throw the entire MAGA cult after them.
As we saw in Japer Alberta, if you don’t clear the dead wood from the forest, it will burn. Blaming it on climate warming only feeds leftist religion and politics…
Canadians ALWAYS help with natural disasters in America or else where. Wr send aid, water , and whatever else is needed. Where is that same respect? America would rather kick a country or TAKE what they can rather than send help. Goes to show you how Americans really are …selfish, greedy , and self centred, only caring about themselves. Sad but true! AMERICA IS NOT A FRIEND ANYMORE.
As he should be. Canada is an embarrassing money laundering operation.
Hoekstra is a moron who should not be representing the US. Normally when an ambassador spouts nonsense, they are expelled so that we get someone who can talk sense. Instead, Global interviews him, and posts his garbage. Shows Global is more interested in sensationalism and not news.
The world should be tarrifing Canada because of the CO2 the wildfires are emitting.
Can someone in Ottawa file a motion to have Hoekstra expelled like the Netherlands did? He is just as batdung crazy as Trump.
The usual asinine comments . Minnesota is ravaged with out of control fires right now, They are right next door to Manitoba. You can’t control Mother Nature. Throw Hoekstra out of Canada, he’s garbage and its detrimental to Canadians health, his stench will not allow us to breathe, not to mention the deadly bacteria.
I am from Europe, I am visiting Canada and the USA over the summer. My perspective is that Canada seems to be rather aloof towards dealing with these fires. Canada appears lame. USA would be right to be frustrated but also should offer assistance as a civil gesture.
Canada has about 350 million hectares of forests, the USA has about 300 million hectares of forests. The USA spends over $3 billion on fire suppression. Canada only $500 million yet we have more forests.
1. Expel the clown
2. Stop mentioning the pedofile Fuhrer by name
If tariffs are the reaction of choice to neighbouring tragedy not a helping hand then tariffs on United States goods should ( but would not )naturally be the reaction of choice by Canada when Yellowstone blows nasty air over us. Sadly it won’t matter because the United States won’t have anything left to trade. No foresight here. Without a doubt and history proves it. What goes around comes around.
Liberals think we can stop wildfires if Canada stops CO2 emissions. Well Canada produces 1.6% of the world emissions so if everyone moved out of Canada so Canada produced zero emissions, forest fire in Canada would drop 1.6%
This is a direct invitation to the powers that be for Yellowstone to blow. Throw rocks from your glass house at risk!!! I say this with love.
Canada’s excuse is they have a lot of forests. Well maybe instead of spending billions of dollars on foreign aid like Gender Studies in Uganda, maybe buy more water bombers. Canada isn’t making a serious attempt to stop the fires.
TELL S H I T HEAD TRUMP TO
B L O W IT OUT OF HIS A S S !!!
SCOTUS already ruled on how and when Trump can impose tariffs, and “too much smoke” isn’t one of those reasons.
Immediately recall all Canadian personnel and equipment that are currently deployed on fire-fighting duty in the U.S.
Pretty much the U.S.Government act like a bunch of nipping dogs at your ankles, constantly with Canadians.
Except Kamala Harris and Barrack Obama, and a few more.
Can’t figure out why…Canadian Politicians start shaking in their boots…when Trump barks.
Think about it folks…
He nips away…until he gets whatever he wants…or whatever he can get.
PRETTY MUCH MOST CANADIANS
HAVE HAD ENOUGH THIS TRUMP DANCE…
MEDIA NEWS IS VERY BORING WITH THE CONSTANT, REPETIOUS, INK ABOUT HIS NEXT PLAN OF ATTACK, THREATS AND INSULTS.
CONSTANTLY SPINNING..OUT OF CONTROL…

ON WHOMEVER, WHATEVER AND WHAT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
HITS EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IN THEIR WALLET, OR WORSE,
YOUNG, ELDERLY, PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED, FOREIGNERS, MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN HAVE ALL BEEN VICTIMS.
HOPEFULLY SOON SOMEONE IN CANADIAN POLITICS WILL DO WHAT’S RIGHT FOR CANADA AND IT’S PEOPLE…
HAS TO BE SOMEONE WITH BACKBONE IN THIS COUNTRY.
Soooo ridiculous…
Maybe Canada Should tariff the US for the tornados they are letting across the border . Comin guys keep them on your side .. we never had so many since Trumps be president. … eh
Ya.. as a true blue Texan i can honestly say canada has nothing to worrie about. Our leader hasn’t held anyone or anything accountable.
So far he has failed to make anything great again aside of inflation.. I cannot wait to vote the lier out. Wish I never voted for him 😪
This is what happens when you try to burn your neighboUrs house down.
This is the offer of help from our USA friends that one might expect?
Shame on you USA
Canada will always make excuses for not acting.
The US is always whining. They have had forest fires as well. We have 369 million hectares of forests, which is larger than the country of India. It’s hardly possible to have controlled burns, or to have water bombers, for such a large area. Maybe the US should focus on losing the war in Iran.
I’m locked and loaded, if one molecule of smoke comes south, turdronto is nuked
The biggest fire in the world is in NW Ontario. Ford, Carney stop blaming Trump and do something about it.
So are we pulling our fire fighters from helping across the boarder?
Really, you can’t blame Canada for the smoke as there are more forest fires in the US than Canada
Canada should retaliate by holding the US responsible for the guns that are smuggled from the US to Canada.
Why was’nt climate change mentioned at all. The US is a major contributor of green gas emission. Will the proposed tariff be lowered or reversed when the wind blows from south to north? A good interviewer would have brought these questions to the ambassador. My rating: very poor interview (you”r fired)
Expel this clown already!
