About this episode

The episode discusses President Trump's call for Canada to control wildfires affecting air quality in the US and the Connecticut Republican party's stance on potential tariffs.

The President is calling on Canada to "get the wildfires under control." President Trump said he told Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada needed to do more to contain the fires in Ontario, whose smoke has affected air quality across the US, including Connecticut. Does the Connecticut Republican party agree with the president to threaten Canada with tariffs because of the fires? We asked state Senator Tony Hwang representing parts of Fairfield County.
