JOINT ANDREWS: President Donald Trump said he held talks on Sunday at the World Cup final with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and called for damages over wildfires that have sent smoke across the northeast US.

Trump threatened Canada with tariffs before Sunday’s match, which the smoke had threatened to disrupt.

“I have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but you know, we got to stop the fires up there,” Trump told reporters after arriving back in Washington.

“If we can help them, we’ll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.”
