U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has tapped former Michigan congressman Pete Hoekstra to be his ambassador to Canada.
Hoekstra served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 until 2011. He also previously served as Trump's ambassador to the Netherlands in the former president's first administration.
"In my second term, Pete will help me once again put America first," Trump said in a statement announcing the nomination.
"I am confident that he will continue to represent our Country well in this new role."
