Future of trade talks depends on Canada’s purchase of American fighter jets, U.S. ambassador says

Pete Hoekstra – I’m crushing your head

OTTAWA — The future of Canada-U.S. trade talks depends on how Canada’s review of its decision to buy U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets turns out, says President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada.

Pete Hoekstra told a conference hosted by the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters on Wednesday that it will not be easy to restart the now-stalled trade talks, and urged Canada to “harmonize” as much as possible with the U.S. on a range of economic and military co-operation issues.
