Trump launches ‘Board of Peace’ with signing ceremony in Davos

  • On Thursday , U.S. President Donald Trump signed the charter of the Board of Peace in Davos, inaugurating the body to lead Gaza ceasefire efforts at the World Economic Forum.
  • Grown from Trump’s 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan, the Board of Peace is described as `a more nimble and effective international peace-building body`, with a $1 billion fee for seats.
  • Among those on hand were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and the administration said 59 countries had signed on with about 35 leaders committed last week.
  • Several Western allies declined or voiced concern, with French officials warning the charter conflicted with France’s international commitments and Norway and Sweden refusing to participate, while diplomats said some governments felt compelled to sign under U.S. pressure.
  • With membership unresolved, national parliaments and EU officials continue consultations while Russian President Vladimir Putin consults strategic partners, and Davos events include Trump’s Greenland episode and Gaza's Rafah crossing opening next week.
