He's from Michigan so he has seen the devastation of the loss of their auto industry.

I wonder what this will mean for Canada, specifically Ontario. Trump called him out for his "America First" stance and he was a part of his first term as Ambassador to the Netherlands.


President-elect Trump chose former ambassador and Rep. Pete Hoekstra for his pick for the U.S. ambassador to Canada.

"Pete is well-respected in the Great State of Michigan - A State we won sizably. He represented Michigan’s 2nd District in Congress for nearly 20 years, where he was also Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and was a great help to our Campaign as Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party," Trump wrote in a Wednesday evening release.

Trump said that Hoekstra would help the president-elect's "American First" agenda.

"In my Second Term, Pete will help me once again put AMERICA FIRST," he wrote. "He did an outstanding job as United States Ambassador to the Netherlands during our first four years, and I am confident that he will continue to represent our Country well in this new role. Thank you, Pete!"
 
Trump should give Sarah Palin an ambassador position as well.

Do you think the US and Canada (should) have a special relationship?
