Is there a role for Bitcoin in international trade? Have you heard of a trade between two countries?
And will it be in the future?

Actually yes!

While more of an outlier, Bitcoin has been used to pay for 3,000 tonnes of wheat being shipped from Russia to Turkey earlier this year.

I think OP got the answer with a proof. Bitcoin already used as a trading currency between Russia and Turkey.
I am sure that other countries will follow this lead and use bitcoin as a trading currency in the future. Bitcoin could be the next international currency which will compete with USD and EUR.
