MOSCOW – The Canadian government has relocated its NAFTA trade negotiations to Russia, a diplomatic maneuver that will eliminate US President Donald Trump as a middleman.

Five Canadian members of the trade mission to save NAFTA diverted their plane from Washington, DC to Moscow after Trump’s press conference in Finland.

“We can end this trade war if we start complimenting the Russian leader on his manliness and ignore how many journalists or opposition leaders he’s killed.”.

Freeland added “there was too much on the line to waste our time on an angry marionette show.”.

In an effort to sway the Russian delegation, Freeland and her team plan on greeting their counterparts with a traditional human rights abuse. »

On Russian state television, both of these events have been portrayed as concessions by the United States.

Russian state media are hard at work, praising Putin’s strategy that is finally paying off.

Russian state TV hosts brazenly assert, “Trump is ours,” and joke that the U.S. lawmakers traveled to Russia “to make deals with our hackers, so they can rig the midterms in favor of Trump’s team.” »
