Can the United States make Canada pay for wildfire smoke?

Описание: President Donald Trump has suggested tariffs in response to smoke drifting south.

But legal experts say existing trade and international law offer little basis for holding Canada liable. Forest experts also say preventing every wildfire is unrealistic across Canada's vast boreal forests.

"I really think the solutions are to continue working towards adaptive management, sharing information across the border so that we can all improve and be prepared for future fires," Lori Daniels, a forest ecologist at the University of British Columbia, said.
