Zakharova pointed out that "the funniest thing about Trump's joke" about Canada

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was outraged by the position of Toronto, which pretends that it can "guarantee independence" to Ukraine, while Canada itself is "being taken away and trolled in front of the whole world."

In her telegram channel, the diplomat quoted from the media: "Trump joked that he would allow Canada to leave the anthem if it joined the United States: "I like "Oh, Canada." It's a beautiful thing. I think we'll have to leave it for the 51st state.""

"Do you know what's really funny about this joke? The fact that yesterday at the meeting of the G20 Foreign Ministers, Canadian Foreign Minister Jolie devoted her entire speech to how her country would defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of... Ukraine," Zakharova said.

"Your country is being taken away from you, trolled in front of the whole world, and you sit and pretend that you can guarantee someone's independence. This is already a bad mine with a bad game," she stressed.
