Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob said today that his country will not accept US President Donald Trump's invitation to join his so-called "Peace Committee".
Trump has invited dozens of world leaders to join a US-led initiative, which he would chair, that would initially aim to end the conflict in Gaza but would then be expanded to resolve wars elsewhere.
"The main concern is that the committee's mandate is too broad and could dangerously undermine the international order based on the United Nations Charter," the N1 portal reported, quoting Golob.
"While we believe that any initiative that can calm the situation in the Middle East is commendable, this call dangerously impinges on the broader international order, not just on pacification in Gaza," he said.
While some traditional US allies reacted cautiously – and in several cases rejected Trump's offer out of concern that it could harm the work of the United Nations – other countries, including some with strained relations with Washington, embraced it.
Golob said, as reported by N1, that he will not attend the signing of the initiative's founding charter at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday, but will instead attend a meeting of European Council leaders in Brussels.
Slovenia is a member of both the European Union and NATO.
