Brazilian President Lula accused U.S. President Trump of attempting to create "a new UN" following Trump's launch of the "Board of Peace" initiative in Switzerland. Lula stated that Trump, instead of fixing the UN, is proposing a new organization where he is the sole owner. Lula defended multilateralism and warned that the UN charter is being undermined. His comments follow a phone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who urged Brazil to safeguard the UN's central role. Trump's "Board of Peace" launch in Davos, along with the U.S. withdrawal from UN bodies and the "America First" agenda, have raised concerns about the future of the UN and U.S. global leadership.
