(13,524 posts)The United Arab Emirates set up a secret meeting between a key donor of U.S. President Donald Trump and an associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin in an apparent bid to set-up a backchannel between the two, according to reports.
The meeting, first reported by the Washington Post, citing anonymous U.S., European and Arab officials, took place in January in the Seychelles islands nine days before Trumps inauguration.
At the two-day meeting Erik Prince, the founder of the security firm Blackwater that operated in the Iraq War and now the head of the Hong Kong-based company Frontier Services Group, met a Russian envoy.
