OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unexpectedly announced on Thursday that the Canadian ambassador to the United States, who played a pivotal role in the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement , will leave Washington at the end of August.
In a letter, MacNaughton said his decision to leave was not taken “quickly or lightly” and that he “had long planned to complete my work” before Canada’s national election on Oct. 21, particularly after the United States lifted its tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products earlier this year. Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, who worked closed with MacNaughton during the NAFTA talks, praised him for his “steady hand... insight, intelligence, and grit as a negotiator.”
Canada and the United States have yet to ratify the new North American trade pact, now known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement , reached late last year. Canada has said its ratification process will remain in line with the United States.
