Brazil's Lula accuses Trump of seeking to forge 'new UN'BRASÍLIA, Jan 24, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused Donald Trump on Friday of trying to create "a new UN" with his proposed "Board of Peace." The veteran leftist joins other world leaders who have avoided signing up for Trump's new global conflict resolution organization, where a permanent seat costs $1 billion and the chairman is Trump himself. "Instead of fixing" the United Nations, "what's happening? President Trump is proposing to create a new UN where only he is the owner," Lula said. In his remarks on Friday, Lula said "the UN charter is being torn."
