U.S. President Donald Trump has renewed his threat of tariffs against Canada as the country grapples with wildfires. The smoke from Canadian fires, now affecting areas south of the border, seems to be top priority for Trump (ca.news.yahoo.com). Lawmakers are warning that a proposed 50 per cent tariff on Canadian goods could already be impacting businesses and leading to job cuts in Canada, according to trade lawyer statements (globalnews.ca). Alberta Premier Danielle Smith stated she will not retaliate with an alcohol ban against the potential tariffs (castanet.net). Instead, she believes letting retailers and consumers decide is the appropriate approach. The threat of additional duties comes amid ongoing concerns over Canada's response to wildfires, which have prompted fresh scrutiny on both sides of the border.
