Learn English – Can verb ‘grant’ be used with preposition ‘with?’

phrasal-verbsprepositions

Could someone explain to me if the word 'grant' can be used with 'with' and what it means?
(I checked with many dictionaries, but couldn't find an example used in that way.)

example sentence in an editorial today:

Russia’s yatra is an opportunity for Kim to grant his country with a multi-dimensional defence and diplomatic perspective and open up to all those who wish to see a more interdependent and proactive communist state across the Armistice line.

Best Answer

While perfectly understandable the combination "grant with" sounds awkward. More normal sounding is "provide his country with..."
