Cross border chat with Ambassador Pete
Trump's Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra joined me for a long chat on the Full Comment Poddcast
Canada’s on the brink of trade peace with Trump
Don’t call it a done deal until it’s actually done, but America’s ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, tells Brian this week that negotiations between Ottawa and President Donald Trump’s administration are making progress. And he says he believes things are moving quickly in the right direction to settle the trade war between our two countries. Hoekstra explains why he’s looking forward to the next phase of the longstanding bilateral relationship, when he thinks Canada and the U.S. will work harmoniously and productively again, allied in eliminating the fentanyl scourge from both countries and building the two strongest economies in the industrialized world (although he still thinks his country will outperform ours).
