US EditionTrump launches ‘Board of Peace’ with signing ceremony in Davos
Trump unveiled the Board of Peace at Davos to address Gaza and global conflicts, with 35 countries agreeing to join while some key U.S. allies remain cautious.
- On Thursday at Davos, U.S. President Donald Trump inaugurated the Board of Peace, signing a founding charter naming him chairman with executive authority to promote Gaza's ceasefire and reconstruction.
- The initiative traces to Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan and was initially focused on Gaza, but invitation letters sent ahead of Davos signaled a broader remit.
- A senior White House official said about 35 world leaders have committed after the White House invited about 60 governments, with the charter requiring $1 billion for permanent seats.
- Britain and other allies voiced legal and UN concerns, with British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and France’s President Emmanuel Macron declining while Trump threatened 200 percent tariffs; Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted.
- Analysts warn legal authority and UN relations remain unclear as the charter centralises power in Chairman of the Board of Peace, Donald Trump, and could reshape peacebuilding for Gaza and its more than 2 million Palestinians.
