#Pavlovski, a Canadian whose parents are from #NorthMacedonia, has long been a booster of the country. He also co-founded an #IT outsourcing firm that employs #software developers in NorthMacedonia & that has provided services to #TrumpMedia. ProPublica previously reported that #Trump Media has contracted w/Pavlovski’s outsourcing firm in the country & secured a special visa for a Macedonian coder who is now chief tech officer of the company.

The company has little revenue & TruthSocial has yet to catch on as a threat to other #socialmedia platforms. #Trump’s stake is currently worth ~$2B. In 1 week, he will be able to sell his shares for the first time.

Joining #DevinNunes on the trip were 2 other figures in Trump’s orbit: #Pavlovski, the #Rumble CEO, & #HowardLutnick, a Trump #donor & #WallStreet exec who helped Rumble go public & was recently named the co-chair of Trump’s #transition team.

In a recent earnings call, Chris #Pavlovski, who accompanied #Nunes on the trip & who is the CEO of #Rumble, a video streaming company & close partner of #TrumpMedia, revealed that he had discussed a cloud technology services deal w/the Macedonian government.

The meeting is the first known instance of #Trump’s media company dealing directly w/a foreign government — & in this case one that is eager for a future Trump admin’s assistance on a wide range of #security, #economic & diplomatic issues.

Earlier 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.
