Trump says his Board of Peace might replace UN

President Donald Trump suggested that his new Board of Peace might replace the United Nations, a major fear many had with the proposal.

Trump sent out invitations to 60 countries for his new Board of Peace, formed around his plan to end the war in Gaza. Reception has been mixed, with one of the main fears voiced by critics being that he was trying to usurp the U.N. Trump added fuel to the fear on Tuesday at a White House press conference, suggesting that “it might,” when asked if he wanted the board to replace the U.N.

“Well, I mean, the U.N. just hasn’t been very helpful,” he said. “I’m a big fan of the U.N.’s potential, but it has never lived up to its potential.
