‘We do not need Canada,’ says U.S. Ambassador during Montreal visit

Pete Hoekstra – I’m crushing your head

The U.S. ambassador to Canada, Peter Hoekstra, repeated during his stop in Montreal on Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s claim that the United States doesn’t need Canada.

Hoekstra sat down with CJAD 800 Radio to discuss the bilateral relationship and Canadians’ attitude toward their southern neighbour.

“Sometime this summer or sometime hopefully this fall, we will have a new outline of how we do business together,” he said in the interview. “And those relationships that we have put in place, whether those will foster and grow or whether Canadian companies and American companies will go their separate ways because of the decisions that are made by their governments.”
