Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva accused his US counterpart Donald Trump on Friday of seeking to become the sole 'master' of a 'new United Nations'. 'Instead of reforming the UN, what happens? He proposes to create a new United Nations where he would be the sole master,' Lula stated. On Thursday, Trump launched the 'Peace Council' on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to work on resolving global conflicts, which could lead to the formation of a body competing with the UN. Lula also confirmed that he has contacted several world leaders to defend the United Nations. Trump, in turn, has extended invitations to a number of world leaders to join his new body.
