Chuck DarwinEarlier this summer, #Devin #Nunes, the CEO of Trump Media and a former California congressman,
touched down just outside Skopje, the capital of #North #Macedonia.
He and a small group of other North American executives were there to talk business.
But they weren’t there to meet with representatives from another company.
A high-ranking official from the Macedonian government greeted them on the tarmac outside their private jet.
Then a police escort ferried them from the airport.
They were there to meet with the Balkan nation’s newly elected prime minister.
At the time, Prime Minister #Hristijan #Mickoski, the leader of the country’s conservative nationalist party,
offered little in the way of specifics about the meeting’s purpose:
“For now, I would not reveal this type of details,” he told local reporters in the Balkans who covered the meeting at the time.
In a recent earnings call, #Chris #Pavlovski, who accompanied Nunes on the trip
and who is the CEO of #Rumble, a video streaming company and close partner of #Trump #Media,
revealed that he had discussed a cloud technology services deal with the Macedonian government.
⚠️The meeting is the first known instance of the former president’s media company dealing directly with a foreign government
— and in this case one that is eager for a future Trump administration’s assistance on a wide range of security, economic and diplomatic issues
