The US president raised the issue with the the Canadian prime minister while the pair attended the World Cup Final in New Jersey.

Canadian wildfires continue to burn out of control, with the situation drawing international attention and concern. The fires have been raging for weeks, and their impact is being felt beyond Canada's borders. The smoke from the wildfires has been carried south into the United States, affecting air quality and prompting health warnings.


The issue has also become a point of contention between the US and Canada, with President Trump weighing in on the matter. During a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the World Cup Final in New Jersey, Trump reportedly warned Trudeau that the wildfires were "poisoning" the US air. This public airing of the issue highlights the delicate balance between environmental concerns and international relations.


As the situation continues to unfold, it's worth watching how the two countries work together to address the issue. The US and Canada have a long history of cooperation on environmental issues, and it's likely that they'll need to work together to mitigate the impact of the wildfires. What's also worth watching is how the issue plays into the broader conversation about climate change and its effects on extreme weather events like wildfires.
