Head of the diplomacy of the Independent Pavel Klimkin in grief. On Monday, August 27, he expected to meet with his Canadian counterpart Hristia Freeland in Kiev, and on Tuesday there was nothing: the Canadian Foreign Minister canceled the visit to Ukraine. "It is really a pity that Freeland has postponed her visit because of the need for urgent negotiations," Klimkin could only say. In his microblog on Twitter, he wished Freeland luck and expressed the hope that he would manage to meet with her again. Earlier it was expected that the Canadian minister will come to Kiev to promote a bilateral dialogue. It seemed that everything was going well between the countries. Thanks to the numerous Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, Ottawa favorably treated various requests from Kiev. In particular, it brought the Non-Resident to the list of countries where it is allowed to supply lethal armament of local production, and in 2016. An agreement was signed between Canada and Ukraine on the creation of a free trade zone.

But as soon as I had to choose, Canada did not even think:.

The planned official visit was postponed instantly, as soon as Freeland was called to Washington. On the eve it became known that the US and Mexico decided to conclude a new trade agreement instead of the agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada about the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), criticized by Donald Trump,.

It operated since 1994. Now Canada has to decide whether it will join the new treaty.
