Canada’s ambassador to the United States, Kirsten Hillman, said she will be leaving her position in the new year. Her announcement on Dec. 9 comes as Canada prepares to enter high-stakes negotiations on renewing the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA or CUSMA) in 2026.
Hillman said she will stay available to Canada’s negotiating team in the “months ahead,” as well as helping her successor learn their way around the position, in a statement posted on social media on Dec. 9.
