Canada's Ambassador to the U.S. Resigns Ahead of Trade Agreement Review
Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., has announced her resignation as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is set for review in 2026. Hillman, who has served since 2017, played a key role in trade negotiations during President Trump's first term and facilitated the release of two Canadians detained in China. Her departure comes as Canada prepares for upcoming trade discussions, with Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasizing the need to strengthen non-U.S. trade. Hillman's resignation marks a significant transition in Canada's diplomatic efforts to maintain and enhance its trade relationship with the U.S.
