"Will your newly announced Board of Peace to oversee the end of the Gaza war replace the UN? a reporter asked Donald Trump Tuesday during his press conference at the White House to mark the first anniversary of his return to power. It might, the U.S. president replied. The UN just hasn't been very helpful. I'm a big fan of the UN's potential, but it has never lived up to its potential."
"He then added: I believe you got to let the UN continue because the potential is so great. Earlier, during a monologue of over 80 minutes in which he exaggerated the achievements of his first year back in power, Trump had linked the matter to one of his great obsessions: those eight conflicts that he claims he has resolved in 10 months, and the Nobel Peace Prize he covets."
A U.S. administration initiative called the Board of Peace is intended to oversee the end of the Gaza war and may operate alongside or instead of the United Nations. The U.S. president criticized the UN as underperforming while praising its potential and suggested maintaining it despite doubts. The Board will be chaired indefinitely by the president and include senior advisers and international figures. At least 60 countries received invitations and a dozen have agreed to participate, including a mix of allies, US-dependent states, and leaders close to the president, raising concerns about sidelining the UN and altering the international order.
