MOSCOW - (APE) Hillary Clinton, in her role as US Secretary of State, presented Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a mock panic button. Mr Lavrov was exicted by the state department's Russian language skills.
TheSpoof.com has been poking fun at Hillary over a translation error on the gift she presented to the Russian equivalent of Hillary.
Hillary Clinton presented Sergei Lavrov with a mock panic button, reminding Moscow that we still have a button.
But he said the word the Americans chose, "изнасилование", meant "rape" rather than "panic".
The Russian paper, Kommersant screamed on its front page: "Sergei and Hillary, sitting in a tree!"
Relations between Washington and Moscow are now expected to heat up considerably.
