The presidents of Argentina and Romania said on Sunday they have been invited to attend the inaugural meeting of US President Donald Trump’s controversial “Board of Peace” in Washington on February 19.
Originally designed by Trump as a mechanism to oversee the Gaza truce and post-war reconstruction, the board’s mandate has since expanded, prompting concerns among critics that it could evolve into a rival to the United Nations.
Writing on his Facebook page, Romania’s President Nicusor Dan said his country had not yet made a decision as to whether it would take part.
That would depend, he said, “on discussions with our US partners on the format of the meeting for countries like Romania, which are not currently members of the Board but which wish to be part of it on condition its charter is revised”.
Argentina’s Javier Milei said he would attend the event, while skipping a gala that will be held at Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Monday, which he had been planning to attend, his Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni said on Sunday.
On Saturday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that he, too, had received an invitation to attend the meeting, and that he intended to go.
The White House has not responded to an Agence France-Presse request for comment.
