Robert Wolfe, associate professor in the School of Policy Studies, is an expert in foreign affairs, especially Canada-U.S. relations and trade policy. He is closely monitoring current developments between the two countries.

In Ottawa Prof. Wolfe worked in the National Security Section, the U.S. Trade and Economic Relations Division, as Executive Assistant to the Ambassador for Multilateral Trade Negotiations and Prime Minister's Personal Representative, Economic Summit, and in the International Economic Relations Division.

In a Toronto Star opinion piece, he says, “We should not treat the United States as a single point, nor should we try to put all Canada-U.S. relations on an Ottawa-Washington axis. We should encourage Canadian officials, legislators, politicians, businessmen, lobbyists and other people from all levels of Canadian life to participate actively in the constant effort of defending Canadian interests in the United States.”
