An international relations expert says it would've been hypocritical for New Zealand to sit on Donald Trump's peace board.
The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister announced this morning that New Zealand won't be accepting Trump's invitation to join the board.
The denial comes days after the Government signalled it was considering the offer.
Otago University Professor Robert Patman told Heather du Plessis-Allan that Trump lacks the credibility to run a board of peace.
He says he's threatened the territories of two democratic allies this term -- and if person wants to chair a peace board they have to walk the talk.
