US President Donald Trump signed the charter of his so-called “Board of Peace,” which he has billed as a body for resolving international conflicts, with other founding members in Davos on Thursday.
“Congratulations President Trump, the charter is now in full force, and the board of peace is now an official international organization,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at the signing ceremony.
At the launch of his so-called Board, President Trump said that Hamas must disarm under the Gaza ceasefire deal or it will be the “end” of the Palestinian movement.
“They have to give up their weapons, and if they don’t do that, it’s going to be the end of them,” Trump said, adding that the Islamist group “were born with rifles in their hands.”
He added that Iran wants to hold talks with the United States, and that Washington was willing to do so.
Trump recalled that the United States had struck Iranian uranium enrichment sites last year to prevent Tehran from making a nuclear weapon.
“Can’t let that happen,” he said. “And Iran does want to talk, and we’ll talk.” (AFP)
