President Donald Trump drew attention during an Oval Office press conference while responding to a question from Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who asked when it would be “safe to eat lettuce again” amid the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak in the United States. Trump replied, “I think we'll put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce. And we'll put a big tariff on Canada because of the smoke.” His remarks referenced the foodborne illness outbreak linked to recalled lettuce and the wildfire smoke from Canada that has repeatedly affected air quality across parts of the U.S. The comments came as health officials continue investigating thousands of Cyclospora infections reported nationwide, while several regions remain impacted by smoke drifting south from Canadian wildfires. Trump's remarks quickly sparked discussion online, as both the public health outbreak and cross-border environmental concerns continue to dominate headlines across North America.
