Senior US trade official Peter Navarro told Canadian lobbyists to "get the hell out of our country," according to Anadolu Agency.
Navarro said, "The problem you have is you lobby this country and you've been successful in the past and you think you can keep doing that," suggesting that past lobbying successes by Canadian interests would not continue under current circumstances.
The remarks add to a series of pointed exchanges between US and Canadian officials on trade and economic policy matters in recent months.
Navarro has been a prominent voice within the US administration on trade issues, frequently taking a hardline stance in disputes involving foreign lobbying and trade practices.
There was no immediate detailed response from Canadian officials or lobbying groups to Navarro's comments.
