Timing may be urgent for Trump’s Canada envoy but Senate questions weren’t
OTTAWA — It was an hour into her Senate confirmation hearing Thursday before Kelly Knight Craft, chosen by U.S. President Donald Trump to serve as the next ambassador to Canada at a pivotal time for bilateral relations, was asked her first question.
It came from Indiana Republican Sen. Todd Young.
“Consider this a diplomatic test,” he said, and then played an audio clip from his phone.
It was from a college basketball game, nearly six years ago, when the Hoosiers of Indiana University, from his home state, narrowly beat the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky, from hers.
