Canadian Officials Slam U.S. Ambassador Over Anti-Americanism Claims
U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra expressed disappointment regarding the anti-American sentiment he perceives within Canada, particularly following U.S. tariffs. Hoekstra cited a “campaign” against America as contributing to this sentiment, with Canadian politicians and experts pushing back against his claims. Flavio Volpe criticized Hoekstra’s statements, suggesting his objective lies in Washington.
