Republican and Democratic senators are rejecting President Donald Trump\u2019s call for Canada<\/a> to pay damages to the U.S. over smoke from ongoing wildfires that he said have “poisoned” the air in many American cities.<\/p>\n

“I think the president\u2019s being ridiculous,” Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Nobody can control the direction of the wind,” Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said. “Even President Trump can\u2019t do that.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP BLAMES CANADA FOR WILDFIRE SMOKE, SAYS POLLUTION COSTS SHOULD BE ADDED TO TARIFFS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump floated the idea after complaining that smoke from nearly 900 Canadian wildfires has degraded air quality across large swaths of the U.S. He told reporters at Joint Base Andrews last week that he spoke to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the FIFA World Cup final about the issue.<\/p>\n

“I told them, I mean, \u2018You got to stop these fires from coming in and, you know, poisoning our air,'” Trump told reporters about his exchange with Canadian officials.<\/p>\n

He continued, “If we can help them, we\u2019ll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.”<\/p>\n

Trump also took to Truth Social in recent weeks claiming he threatened to increase tariffs<\/a> in a phone call with Carney, as a response to the wildfires creating hazardous air quality<\/a> in the U.S. \u2014 particularly in major cities like Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis and New York City.<\/p>\n

CANADIAN WILDFIRE SMOKE IGNITES CROSS-BORDER FEUD OVER OTTAWA’S ‘WILLFUL NEGLIGENCE’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., called for better management of both Canadian and American forests<\/a>, arguing America is also “guilty” of improperly handling forests to reduce the likelihood of wildfires spreading.<\/p>\n

“I’m mostly just interested in active management of the forest, and America is just as guilty,” Marshall said.<\/p>\n

“We have not actively managed our forests, and that’s why in Canada<\/a> and America both have led to these large fires,” he continued. “We haven’t properly managed them.”<\/p>\n

POOR AIR QUALITY DUE TO WILDFIRES FORCES LOGISITCAL CHANGES AT SEVERAL MLB GAMES, INCLUDING POSTPONEMENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While the senators Fox News Digital interviewed largely rejected Trump’s proposal, Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, is introducing legislation to hold Canada accountable<\/a> for the impact its wildfires have had on U.S. air quality.<\/p>\n

” I don’t think the Canadians want those fires any more than we do,” Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich<\/span> said about the call to charge Canada.<\/p>\n

“Those are natural-caused fires, you know, we’re getting wildfires all over the world,” Welch said. “Beyond anyone’s control \u2013 it’s the weather.”<\/p>\n

The raging wildfires<\/a> are believed to have emerged from thousands of lightning strikes across North America<\/a> in early July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
