ROME: The Vatican will not participate in US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” its secretary of state said on Tuesday.
The board, of which Trump is the chairman, was initially designed to oversee the Gaza truce and the territory’s reconstruction after the war between Hamas and Israel.
But its purpose has since morphed into resolving all sorts of international conflicts, triggering fears the US president wants to create a rival to the United Nations.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin said that the UN manages the world’s top crises.
“For us, there are... some critical issues that should be resolved, let’s say,” he said.
