Ambassador Huckabee suggested Trump's work on the "Peace Council" after the presidency

The "Peace Council" created by US President Donald Trump may become the next project for the American leader after his presidential term ends. This was announced on February 7 by the United States Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.

"It is quite possible that this will become his next project in life after leaving office, because he really wants to leave behind a legacy of peacemaking," The New York Post quoted him as saying.

The diplomat added that Trump is not the kind of person who agrees to just sit around and intends to continue devoting himself to political and public activities.

Experts talked about what role Russia can play in the new organization.

On January 28, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the US-formed "Peace Council" does not aim to replace the United Nations (UN). According to him, some European states have decided not to join because they need the constitutional approval of parliament to participate.

On January 20, Egypt accepted Trump's invitation to join the Peace Council organization.
