President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday evening that he has nominated former Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) to serve as the new Ambassador to Canada.

Hoekstra, 71, was born in the Netherlands and immigrated to the U.S. as a child. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2011. Hoekstra also served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands during the first Trump administration, from 2018 to 2021. He was elected as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party in January 2024.

Trump’s announcement reads:

“I am very pleased to announce that former Ambassador, and former Congressman, Pete Hoekstra, has been nominated as my United States 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.

“I overhauled the disastrous NAFTA Agreement, the worst Trade Deal in the History of the United States, which was switched to the USMCA (Mexico/Canada), which no one thought could be done. We brought Trade with Mexico and Canada to a level playing field for our wonderful Farmers and Working Families.

“In my Second Term, Pete will help me once again put AMERICA FIRST. 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.”
