BRASILIA: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that US President Donald Trump attempts to create a new United Nations and be its sole owner.

"President Trump is proposing to create a new UN and that he alone is the owner of the UN, " Lula said on Friday, at an event organized by the Landless Rural Workers Movement in Brazil's northeastern state of Bahia, Xinhua news agency reported.

He said that the world is facing a "very critical" political moment, with multilateralism being thrown out in favor of unilateralism, adding that the "law of the strongest" is increasingly shaping international relations and the UN Charter is being "torn apart."
