US President Donald Trump has suggested that his proposed “Peace Council” might one day replace the United Nations.
Responding to reporters, Trump questioned the utility of the UN, stating it hasn’t been very effective in resolving global conflicts.
He claimed that he personally settled wars that the international body failed to address.
Trump argued that the UN should have been the one to resolve these issues, implying his new initiative would be more action-oriented.
The comments reflect Trump’s long-standing skepticism of multilateral institutions.
The proposal to sideline the UN in favor of a US-led council is likely to spark significant debate in the international diplomatic community.
