Japan pushes back decision on joining Trump's Board of Peace
Japanese officials have delayed their decision on joining Donald Trump's Board of Peace, citing concerns that it may be used to replace the United Nations. They are assessing responses from other countries and considering Tokyo's relations with the U.S. before making a commitment. Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi stated that Japan is closely discussing the matter with the United States and other involved nations.
The government has pushed back a decision on whether to join the Board of Peace, led by U.S. President Donald Trump with the aim of achieving peace in Gaza, because of concerns among countries that he intends to use it to replace the United Nations.
Japanese officials are currently examining other countries' responses while taking Tokyo's relations with Washington into consideration before making a decision.
"We are scrutinizing details in close communication with the United States and other countries concerned," Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said at a news conference last week when asked whether Japan would join the board.
