ALGIERS (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday he discussed Iran and the war in Ukraine in a meeting with the United Arab Emirates’ de facto leader but did not focus specifically on energy.
Blinken told reporters during a visit to Algeria that he had an “excellent discussion” with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan in Morocco a day earlier and made clear that Washington values its partnership with the UAE.
