“Referencing Black Cube has become an international sport during 2018,” the company said in a statement on Monday. Trump has long denounced what he calls “the worst deal ever” and threatened to scrap the 2015 agreement by a 12 May deadline. However, following publication, Kahl said on Twitter there was “considerable evidence” that a person working for Black Cube had approached his wife last May. Norris, a former state department official, was cited in the magazine as saying she never responded to the request, which the New Yorker claimed was an undercover Black Cube campaign. The Guardian could not independently verify the claims against the Tel Aviv-based company made by Kahl and the New Yorker.
