Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump was asked what action he planned to take against Canada over the wildfire crisis. His response was brief but pointed.

"I have. You'll find out."

The remarks signal that the US administration may be preparing new measures against Canada, although Trump did not specify what form the proposed "punishment" would take.

Trump repeats criticism over wildfire smoke

For weeks, Trump has accused Canada of failing to properly manage its forests after hundreds of wildfires sent thick smoke across large parts of the northern United States, affecting air quality in several states.

Last month, Trump warned that the United States was being subjected to "filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air" because of Canada's handling of its forests. He also threatened to impose new tariffs, accusing Ottawa of "willful negligence" in preventing and controlling wildfires.

The US president had said he would speak with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to demand an explanation for what he called inadequate forest management.

Tariff threat remains on the table

Although Trump has not announced any concrete measures, previous statements suggest tariffs remain one possible option.

The administration has repeatedly linked trade policy with environmental concerns, arguing that countries whose actions negatively affect the United States should face economic consequences.

However, no official executive order or tariff announcement has yet been issued regarding Canada's wildfire situation.

Canada prepares for possible US action

Amid repeated warnings from Washington, Canada has begun strengthening its international trade strategy.

Last week, Canada's International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu announced the creation of the country's first Strategic Exports Office, designed to help Canadian businesses secure international contracts and diversify export markets.

According to Sidhu, the new office will combine diplomatic support, export financing and government advocacy to assist Canadian companies competing globally.

"Think of the Strategic Exports Office as your government-level dealmaker," Sidhu said while announcing the initiative.

The move is widely seen as part of Canada's broader effort to reduce economic vulnerability amid continuing trade uncertainty with the United States.

Wildfires remain a major challenge

Canada is experiencing another severe wildfire season, with hundreds of active fires burning across several provinces. Smoke from the blazes has periodically spread into the United States, triggering air quality alerts in multiple northern states.

Scientists have linked the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires to prolonged drought, higher temperatures and changing climate conditions.

No details on Trump's next move

Despite his latest warning, Trump declined to explain what punishment he intends to impose or when an announcement could be made.

For now, both governments appear to be preparing for the possibility of another round of tensions, adding a new dimension to an already sensitive US-Canada relationship that spans trade, energy, border security and environmental cooperation.
