U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said restarting trade talks with Canada will not be easy after they were cancelled by Washington following the airing of Ontario’s anti-tariff ad down south.
Hoekstra said the move by Ontario Premier Doug Ford appeared to be without precedent and that anyone should “seriously consider” before adopting such a strategy to reach political objectives in the United States.
