NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: The US will strengthen the United Nations, make it viable and help it “money-wise”, President Donald Trump said Thursday, as he asserted that his Board of Peace will be “looking over” the global organisation, making sure it runs properly.

Trump made the remarks in his address to the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, which was initiated as part of the US President’s 20-point peace plan to end the conflict in Gaza.

“And we are very closely working with the United Nations. In fact, I’m going to speak to the Secretary General in a little while. He’s a good man, and I’ve had a good relationship,” Trump said.
