Trump gave his first foreign policy speech at the Mayflower Hotel, at an event hosted by the pro-Kremlin Center for the National Interest and attended by the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and ambassadors from Italy and Singapore, two nations that are major players in the upcoming sale of a stake in Russia’s state-owned oil company, Rosneft. Among the VIP attendees was a man with special interests in Russian energy profits, Robert “Bud” McFarlane, the Iran-Contra figure convicted of four counts of withholding information from Congress.
One of the men who helps edit Trump's pro-Russian speech, George Papadopoulos, was in regular contact with Kremlin agents for the four weeks leading up to the Mayflower event. Two of the speech’s authors were longtime Kremlin allies.
