Did Trump have an economic objective in Helsinki?

Russia is best positioned to smuggle American food crops into China without getting threatened by war. There are no end user certificates on food but it would be a violation of sanctions to ship directly to Russia. Any opinions?

Russia and the United States should have been natural allies the day after 9-11 because we both face the same enemy...but the old guard GOP and the Dems have been avoiding that concept for 18 years...
Its time to turn the page... engagement with Russia for whatever reason is a positive move...we must repair our relationship....

No.

He just went to kiss Putin’s ring.

Russia is a military country. 70% of its economy is in the military. the best minds, physicians, mathematicians, are in the military. everybody, men, women, and children are subject to military ideology.

education is militarist, and children are obliged to read war literature as preparation for self-sacrifice, as Putin did in his youth

so obviously Trump was gonna discuss such matters with President Putin

Natural allies, not so much. but the two great powers of the future was recognized in the late 1800s and is still true.
