Trump Asks Countries to Pay $1 Billion for Permanent Peace Board Seats

Countries must contribute $1 billion for permanent seats on Trump’s Board of Peace, which critics say could rival the United Nations and concentrate power in the chairman’s hands.

  • On September 23, 2025, President Donald Trump proposed a Board of Peace and asked countries seeking permanent membership to contribute at least $1 billion, with a draft naming Trump as inaugural chairman.
  • The draft charter frames the board as an international organization to promote stability, restore governance and secure peace, but several nations oppose donor control of funds and worry it rivals the United Nations.
  • The charter caps membership to three-year terms renewable by the Chairman, mandates voting meetings at least annually or as the Chairman deems fit, and assigns the Chairman approval of the official seal.
  • On Friday, the White House announced an executive panel including Rubio, Witkoff, Kushner, and Blair, while Netanyahu criticized the Gaza plan for lacking coordination and officials did not comment.
  • Becoming official once three member states agree, the charter grants the Chairman power to remove members, subject to a two-thirds majority veto, and requires designating a successor at all times.
