President Donald Trump has 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."
Asked Tuesday whether he envisioned the new body supplanting the U.N., Trump replied, "It might."
Speaking at a White House press conference, the president also told reporters the U.N. has consistently failed to fulfill its mission.
"The UN just hasn’t been very helpful. I’m a big fan of the UN, but it has never lived up to its potential," Trump said. While arguing the U.N. should continue to exist, he added, "The UN should have settled every one of the wars that I settled."
