U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra continued to lash out against the ad campaign that infuriated his president and abruptly ended trade negotiations while on stage in Ottawa Wednesday, accusing Canada of interfering in “electoral politics” south of the border.
He suggested that the timing of the ad amounted to foreign meddling.
“Targeting the president of the United States and his policies 10 days before an election, in a couple of weeks before a Supreme Court case would be heard … I’m sorry that does not happen in the United States of America,” he said.
