WASHINGTON, Jan 20 - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday "you got to let the U.N. continue" when asked about his plans for a so-called "Board of Peace" that has alarmed international experts.

Governments around the world have reacted cautiously to Trump's invitation to join that initiative that the U.S. president says aims to resolve conflicts globally, a plan that diplomats said could harm the work of the United Nations.
