Canada鈥檚 Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman says the country鈥檚 relationship with its American counterparts required rebuilding after the Trump administration.

鈥淵es, I do, in some respects I think it did require rebuilding,鈥 she answered.

Her comments followed remarks from White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council John Kirby Wednesday afternoon.

鈥淚n the first year of this administration we focused on rebuilding that bilateral relationship,鈥 Kirby said in a White House briefing.

Hillman told Kapelos the federal government was able to find common successes with the Trump administration in the early days of the pandemic and in NAFTA negotiations.
