Norway won’t take part in Trump’s ‘Board of Peace,’ deputy FM says
Norway will not take part in US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative, as is currently presented, Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik tells daily Aftenposten.
The board would be chaired for life by Trump and would initially address the Gaza conflict, with plans to expand its scope to deal with other conflicts, according to a copy of a letter and draft charter seen by Reuters.
The Norwegian foreign ministry does not immediately reply to a request for comment.
