US President Donald Trump has said he would “love” to see Russia and China join his ‘Board of Peace’, established to guide the stabilization of Gaza following the Israel-Hamas war. Moscow earlier signaled that it was contemplating the idea, while China has declined, citing commitments to the UN.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday, Trump said many countries had already joined the board, and that “we have a lot that are going through the process of getting on.”
“I would love to have China and Russia,” he said. “They’ve been invited. You need both. You need all persuasions. No discrimination.”
