Helsinki, July 16 (RHC)-- The meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, was mocked by the largest newspaper in Finland.
Nearly 300 billboards were installed on the route from the airport to the site of the summit in the Finnish capital Helsinki, according to a Sunday press release by Kaius Niemi, the editor-in-chief of Helsingin Sanomat.
"Mr. President, welcome to the land of free press," reads one of the billboards as shown in one of the photos shared by Niemi. The billboards are filled "with news headlines regarding the presidents' attitude towards the press freedom," Niemi said in a tweet.
The release further cited the Reporters Without Borders World Press Freedom Index, in which Finland is rated fourth in terms of press freedom while the US is 45th.
Ahead of touching down in Helsinki on Sunday evening, Donald Trump tweeted that "much of our news media is indeed the enemy of the people," predicting that he would get negative press coverage "no matter how well" the summit goes.
