Canadian envoy to US says country stunned by Trump trade fights

It has been a roller coaster ride for outgoing Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman, who is leaving Washington this month after six years as Ottawa's top envoy to the U.S.

Hillman, who assumed her post in 2020, recalled "hard" and "volatile" trade talks with the U.S. and Mexico during President Trump's first term, but she said "we didn't have any fundamental questioning of the fact that predictable and open trade among the three countries was good for America and with Canada and from Mexico."
