Canadian ambassador to leave Washington, D.C. at end of August: Trudeau
OTTAWA (Reuters) - David MacNaughton, the Canadian Ambassador to the United States who played a pivotal role in the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), will leave Washington at the end of August, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday.
It is with great affection and gratitude and of course, considerable regret that I have accepted Ambassador David MacNaughtons decision to leave Washington. D.C., at summers end, to return to his home in Toronto, and take up new challenges in the private sector, Trudeau said in a statement.
