EU Expresses 'Serious Doubts' About Trump's 'Peace Council'

The European Union expresses “serious doubts” about the “Peace Council” proposed by Donald Trump, particularly regarding its compatibility with the UN. This criticism emerged after an emergency summit of the 27 EU member states. Spain and France have already rejected the invitation to participate, while Britain avoided signing the Council’s “charter” due to Trump’s intention to invite Vladimir Putin. Trump’s move, presented in Davos, appears to be causing disagreements and reservations in Europe, as the effectiveness and legitimacy of such an organization outside the UN framework are being questioned.
