Donald Trump wants to give former Rep. Pete Hoekstra another turn as a diplomat. Trump announced Wednesday that Hoekstra, who served as ambassador to the Netherlands during his first administration, is his pick for ambassador to Canada for his second.
“In my Second Term, Pete will once again help me put AMERICA FIRST,” Trump said in a statement. “He did an outstanding job as United States Ambassador to the Netherlands during our first four years, and I am confident that he will continue to represent our Country well in this new role.”
Hoekstra served as ambassador to the Netherlands from 2018 to 2021 and in Congress from 1993 to 2011. He unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2010 and for the Senate in 2012. He currently serves as chair of the Michigan GOP.

Longtime JMG readers may recall that Hoekstra embraced every nutjob conspiracy theory out there, in particular pushing the claim that Hillary Clinton is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. As for his “outstanding job” as ambassador to the Netherlands, watch the clip below, complete with circus music.
Honored for the opportunity to serve. Thank you, Mr. President! https://t.co/XnOCJ0gXeF
