FRANKFURT, Jan 21 (Reuters) - The German government is against joining U.S. President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" because it risks undermining the United Nations, Spiegel magazine reported on Wednesday, citing a foreign ministry document.
Citing the document, an internal memo prepared last weekend for a meeting of EU ambassadors, Spiegel reported that the German government also took issue with predetermined powers that Trump would received under the initiative.
A German government spokesman said on Monday that Berlin would examine what contribution it could make to the "Board of Peace".
