The Board of Peace will work with the UN in some cases, US President Donald Trump said.

“I think they [i.e. the UN] might aid us a little bit. But we have the greatest leaders in the world joining the Board of Peace, and we'll be doing it in conjunction with, in some cases, the United Nations and see if we can get the United Nations to get on the ball,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One during his flight from Florida to Washington.

The US president, however, did not specify the scope of the two organizations’ cooperation.

The creation of the Board of Peace was part of Donald Trump's proposed plan to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip. Its creation was announced in January.

About 60 world leaders have been invited to join the Board of Peace, some of whom—including Armenia—are founding members. Trump has become the first chairman of the Board of Peace.

The opening ceremony of the Board of Peace took place on January 22, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
