U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says trade relations between the two countries “have a ways to go yet” just days after the U.S. opted out of extending CUSMA, sending the North American trade pact into an annual review process.

Hoekstra also said that the U.S. is prepared to source its oil elsewhere if Ottawa wasn’t ready to make the necessary arrangements to supply the demand south of the border.
