Permanent membership requires a $1 billion contribution. Many key democracies such as the U.K., Canada, France and Germany have stayed away while Russia and China have so far declined to join, leaving membership to a motley group of member states including Belarus and Azerbaijan. In January Trump withdrew an invitation to Canada to join after a spat with America’s northern neighbor. Guterres said that beyond the Gaza reconstruction plan, he saw no need for Trump’s board. “Everything else now is a personal project of President Trump, in which he has full control of everything,” he noted. “This is not the effective way to address the dramatic problems that we have now. We need to be clear about international law, to be clear about the values of the Charter of the United Nations. That is essential in any peace initiative.” The remarks came as Guterres visited Brussels during a meeting of the European Council that was largely focused on the Iran war. Asked if he had spoken with Trump since the start of the Iran crisis, Guterres emphatically replied, “No, no, no” — although he …

A makeshift memorial honoring Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, is taped to a post near the site of the previous day’s shooting in Minneapolis. Mike Householder/AP hide caption toggle caption Mike Householder/AP In two different press conferences on Thursday, the White House and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz disagreed on the details of Wednesday’s fatal shooting in Minneapolis and how to investigate it. Walz on Thursday told the federal government to “leave Minnesota alone” and allow state officials to conduct the investigation into the shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent that left one woman dead and Minneapolis residents on edge. Walz repeatedly expressed concerns about the federal government leading the investigation without Minnesota officials. “It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome, and I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment, from the president, to the vice president, to [Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem,” Walz said. Officials within the Trump administration quickly defended the ICE …
