Storms expected to clear wildfire smoke from Northeast US ahead of World Cup final

Air in New York expected to be safe again on Sunday, when Argentina will face off with Spain; Trump says US being 'invaded' by smoky air from Canada, threatens tariffs
Smoke from Canadian wildfires is expected to largely clear from the Northeast US, particularly the New Jersey area, by Sunday, just in time for the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina at MetLife Stadium. Meteorologists attribute this improvement to thunderstorms passing through the region. While some lingering haze is possible, the thickest smoke and poor air quality are not anticipated for the final. Air quality in East Rutherford is projected to improve from "unhealthy for sensitive groups" on Saturday to "moderate" on Sunday, posing little health risk to the general public. US President Donald Trump, however, continued to blame Canada for the smoke, threatening tariffs, which Ontario Premier Doug Ford called "unacceptable and shortsighted."
