Trump: Why invite Putin to the World Council

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he is inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as other influential figures including Alexander Lukashenko, to the Council of Peace. He emphasized that the Council's goal is to bring together 'real heavyweights' capable of making global decisions. Trump said: 'We are inviting everyone, including controversial people, but these are individuals who actually get things done. If the council were filled with losers and failures, it would be useless.' The president expressed his view that the Council of Peace will be more effective and decisive than existing international mechanisms and will work in cooperation with the UN.

In preparation for establishing the Council, the president noted that the invitations are not for 'nice guys' but for 'heavyweights' capable of influencing global developments.
