Trump toys with tariffs on lettuce and Canada’s smoke

In an Oval Office briefing, President Donald Trump joked about slapping tariffs on Mexico for “the lettuce” and on Canada for “the smoke,” tying the quip to a cyclosporiasis outbreak tied to lettuce and Canadian wildfire smoke drifting into the U.S. The CDC reports thousands of cyclosporiasis cases across dozens of states (4,173 lab-confirmed since May 1, with about 7,400 more unconfirmed) while Canadian wildfires continue to affect air quality in parts of the United States.
