Sen. Moreno wants Canada to pay for wildfire smoke — but a court ruling may stop him cold

Sen. Bernie Moreno is pushing for Canada to compensate the U.S. for wildfire smoke drifting across borders, but this idea might face legal challenges due to a 1987 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prevents states from suing each other for pollution. Critics argue that his Canadian sanctions bill overlooks this precedent, questioning the feasibility of his proposal. This debate highlights the complexities of cross-border pollution and the legal boundaries of environmental responsibility.
