U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said he amplified a post by U.S. President Donald Trump calling again for Canada to join the United States because he wanted to present the president’s viewpoint.
“As the president’s representative to Canada, I present the president’s views, the United States’ views to Canada,” Hoekstra told reporters in Quebec City on June 3.
