Mohammed bin Salman & Mohammed bin Zayed - MBS reportedly threatened to put UAE under blockade

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman threatened to place sanctions on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a private conversation with journalists last year, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Saudi leader is slowly charting a different course to the UAE as he seeks to take on a greater leadership role in the Middle East.
The threat had come amid a growing rift between bin Salman and the UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, marked by differences over regional policies and Opec limits.
The crown prince and bin Zayed have been locked in a power struggle as they vie for dominance in the Gulf region, and have not spoken for more than six months, according to WSJ sources
