Here sounds like this weekend is a turning point as I believe this Summit is HUGE. To ACTIVATE means to sign a real CONTRACT....which imo means they have or they are about to have accomplished the prerequisite conditions that were in the MOU’s.
Couple this with the leak from the HoR about Saturday’s formula amendment and OH BUDDY!
PS....don’t forget Ramadan is just around the corner!!!
