Trump to increase tarrifs on Canada

July 18, 2026 3:23pm CST
President Donald Trump said he would increase tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke and poor air quality, with an extra 10% discussed in coverage. The exact mechanism and timing of the added charge were described as unclear, though Canadian goods are commonly hit with a 10% tariff rate (with some exceptions for certain goods). Trump truly is a lunatic He said Canada were displaying negligence with regard to the wildfires Explain that please

He can't anymore his beloved supreme court already told him knock it off. That ruling saved Americans so much money. Corporations just straight greedy, dannit you mean we have to offer affordable prices, Tarriffs was a great excuse to over charge people

@Ineeddentures To be honest he probably can these not brave people. Meaning I have been waiting for one just to say one thing and they all refuse because they so scared and he is the softest dictator in history. You have people at his rallies calling him a pedophile and you cannot even stand up for the constitution of America. You have the biggest military in the world and you cannot even stand up to the softest Putin the world has ever seen. Sad, America.

So what else is new? He is such an incompetent leader, so unprofessional in every aspect. Maybe the exact amount of that tariff will fluctuate, like our gasoline prices, when the winds change direction and return from the south. But really, who knows with him anyways?

@Ineeddentures I know, they voted him in twice, and really, you don't have to say he is a clown, he does a pretty good job of that all on his very own. But don't forget that there have been 2 attempts on his life just in his second term. That speaks volumes.

In that case surely we should all be charging the US higher tariffs because they are one of the biggest causes of global climate change which is causing al this trouble.

Not according to Trump Global Warming is a myth The planet has been hotter at various points in history He doesn't do climate change agreements so has no responsibility Maybe instead of charging Trump more , we should just stop dealing with him altogether India and China and Russia must also take responsibility

So when the air quality in Canada was affected by American wildfires does this mean that your American wildfires were not managed properly Just curious But Trump citing that as a reason to increase tarrifs when the USA is one of the worst polluters of the planet is insane. And Jim, you know it
