If confirmed, Peter Hoekstra, a longtime former lawmaker from Michigan and former diplomat, will become the Canadian ambassador amid a quickly changing trade war spurred by Trump’s tariffs.

And George Glass, a former investment banker and diplomat, is poised to become the top U.S. envoy to Japan. He was ambassador to Portugal throughout Trump’s first term.
