moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">The fires have also sent smoke billowing to other parts of the country and beyond its borders, prompting air quality warnings from Environment Canada and the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Here\u2019s an overview of the current situation, in maps and

President Donald Trump brought up the matter with Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Cup final on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Trump said he told Carney that Canada must do better at controlling Ontario wildfires, the origin of the smoke the president said on Friday had \u201cinvaded\u201d American cities on Friday and still lingers across much of the U.S. midwest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Carney has not directly responded to Trump, though he has said all countries including the U.S. must do more to address climate change.

Canada with its wildfire response?<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Several U.S. states sent firefighters to help Canada during the 2025 wildfire season, but so far no American help
