Canada’s Ambassador to the United States, David MacNaughton, is resigning his post.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has accepted MacNaughton’s decision to leave Washington. D.C., to return to his home in Toronto, and take up new challenges in the private sector.
Trudeau adds, his service to Canadians as Ambassador to the U.S. has been “historic.”
MacNaughton played a pivotal role in negotiating the trade deal known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
He will stay on until the end of this month then, Kirsten Hillman will become Canada’s Acting Ambassador to the United States.
