US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants his new “Board of Peace” to work “in conjunction” with the United Nations, even as he criticized the UN for failing to live up to its potential.

Axar.az informs, citing CNN, Trump had previously suggested that the “Board of Peace,” which he formed chiefly to help rebuild Gaza, “might” eventually replace the UN. But on Thursday he said he wanted the two to work in combination, contending it could result in “something very, very unique for the world.”

Still, he had harsh words for the UN’s current performance, claiming it had played little role in mediating conflicts that Trump counts among the so-called wars he believes he’s ended.

“On the eight wars that I ended, I never spoke to the United Nations, not any of them,” Trump said. “They tried, I guess, and some of them, but they didn’t try hard enough.”
