Canada claps back at Trump over wildfire smoke: 'Facepalm emojis'

The leader of Canada’s Ontario province, Doug Ford, lashed out at President Donald Trump over his threat to add “the cost of pollution” from that country’s wildfires to US tariffs.

Trump said that he’s holding Canada responsible for wildfire smoke hovering over much of the Midwest and the eastern United States and vowed to call Prime Minister Mark Carney “to find out what they are doing about it.”

CNN spoke to Ford and Avi Lewis, leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, for their thoughts on Trump’s comments.
