“I know, indeed they are.”
“So where was the favourite duo in President Trump’s visit to China?”
“Favourite duo?”
“Witkoff and Kushner?”
“Oh they are a two-man strong reconciliation with recalcitrant countries team and China doesn’t fall in that category. Yet.”
“I wasn’t aware they were successful in any of the reconciliation efforts….”
“They were successful in meeting their objectives, you simply assumed objectives that were not quite what they had in mind.”
“Oh! The President’s son Eric is with the delegation.”
“For Pete’s sake, one individual on a huge plane which can accommodate…..”
“Agreed like Maryam Nawaz when she had no portfolio.”
“Precisely, surely a head of government can be allowed that at least!”
“I do stand corrected, but I would commend President Trump in his extremely astute decision to take a plane loan of heads of large US corporations because now he can declare the visit a success by insisting that deals worth billions of dollars were signed.”
“But they would be signed.”
“Yes but the Memoranda of Understanding that are not contractually binding right!”
“I know one set of contractually binding decisions that the Chinese will sign – One Road One Belt…”
“Don’t be facetious.”
