Trump floats 'Board of Peace' to replace UN

US President Donald Trump marked the first year of his second term by repeatedly threatening to seize Greenland. In his long news conference, he attacked immigrants and touted recent US military strikes on countries such as Iran and Venezuela, despite experts calling the attacks illegal. Trump claimed that he helped end eight wars in 10 months, including that between India and Pakistan in May 2025. . And for each war, he said, he deserves the Nobel Prize,he said. Trump slammed the United Nations and said that the world body did not help him settle even one wa and alleged that the U.N. has consistently failed to fulfill its mission.  Trump  suggested his proposed "Board of Peace" in Gaza could replace the U.N., underscoring what one national security analyst has described as a revision of the "existing international order."

Reporter: Do you want your Board of Peace to REPLACE the UN?

Trump: Well, it might. I mean, the UN just hasn’t been very helpful. I’m a big fan of the UN potential, but it has never lived up to its potential https://t.co/I9dJEGzcQA pic.twitter.com/TT6pIXOOte
