And the situation is expected to deteriorate even further in the near future,” Guterres wrote to ambassadors in the document dated January 28. The warning about the crisis at the United Nations comes shortly after the launch of the Peace Council, an initiative of United States President Donald Trump. The group was initially designed to act only in Gaza, but now Trump is talking about acting in other conflicts around the world that require mediation. Statements from the White House have caused concern among the international community, which is seeing the council as a kind of ‘UN parallel’. Trump says that the UN has not committed itself to ending wars Trump often criticizes multilateral institutions, especially the UN. The American president questions the effectiveness, cost and responsibility of these organizations and states that, many times, they do not serve the interests of the United States. They had tremendous potential.” Trump displays Gaza peace treaty Fabrice Coffrini/AFP VIDEOS: most watched on g1
