The initiative has drawn a cautious response from several US allies, who have not openly supported the council or accepted Trump’s invitation, as leaders question the need for an alternative UN body.
Trump’s direct speech: “I think the peace council will be the most prestigious council ever, and it will do a lot of the work that the United Nations should do.
And we will cooperate with the United Nations. But the Peace Council will be special. We will have peace.”
Details: When asked by a reporter at the White House on Tuesday if he would replace the U.N. council, Trump said, “Maybe.”
France, Norway and Sweden withdrew or expressed strong reservations about the council, while other countries such as Germany, Great Britain and Italy remained neutral.
The Kremlin confirmed this week that the invitation had been extended to Russia, despite Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The publication adds that the full list of invitees has not been made public by the White House. It is not known how many countries will sign the agreement during a ceremony planned for Thursday.
A copy of the draft charter seen by ABC News says the Peace Council has a much broader mandate as an “international organization” and “peacemaking body” that seeks to resolve world conflicts and ensure lasting peace, similar to an alternative to the U.S.-led United Nations.
Trump, who is expected to lead the Council, could potentially hold the post for life.
“President Trump can serve as chairman until he resigns. However, a future US president can appoint or appoint a US representative to the Council,” the US official said.
