I wonder if this sentence and the usage of "mistrust" in the sentence is correct.
By the way English is not my first language.
Code: Select all
The continuation of this action will mistrust countries to the UN resolutions.

“The continuation of this action will [be suspicious of] countries to the UN resolutions.”
Makes no sense. I think you meant something like:
“The continuation of this action will cause countries to mistrust (the) UN resolutions.”
Whether the last “the” works depends on whether you’re talking about some specific resolutions or UN resolutions in general.
