Read moreBrazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Friday that
U.S. President Donald Trump attempts to create a new United Nations
and be its sole owner, Azernews reports.
"President Trump is proposing to create a new UN and that he alone
is the owner of the UN," Lula said at an event organized by the
Landless Rural Workers Movement in Brazil's northeastern state of
Bahia.
He said that the world is facing a "very critical" political
moment, with multilateralism being thrown out in favor of
unilateralism, adding that the "law of the strongest" is
increasingly shaping international relations and the UN Charter is
being "torn apart."
Lula said he has intensified diplomatic contacts in recent weeks to
help build an international response to strengthen multilateralism,
citing talks with the leaders of Russia, China, India, Hungary and
Mexico, among others.
The goal, he said, is to explore the possibility of an
international meeting to reaffirm commitment to multilateralism and
prevent "the force of arms and intolerance of any country in the
world" from prevailing.
