Trump’s choice for ambassador to Canada speaks his mind, Republican says
A colleague of the Trump administration’s choice for ambassador to Canada says he’s a frank person who stands up for the U.S.
President Donald Trump has chosen former Michigan congressman Pete Hoekstra as the top U.S. diplomat in Ottawa, pending Senate confirmation.
Michigan Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga says Hoekstra sticks to his principles, citing his vote against a popular trade arrangement that he felt would not benefit Americans.
That move, Huizenga says, earned Hoekstra some support from trade unions.
