Tracking Odds for Nobel Peace Prize After Trump Signs Board of Peace Charter

The Board of Peace, chaired by Trump for life, has broad authority over membership and aims to address conflicts globally beyond its original Gaza focus.

  • On January 22, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed the Board of Peace charter at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, flanked by representatives from 19 countries.
  • Initially created to oversee Gaza reconstruction, the Board of Peace has expanded globally, with critics saying the charter could replace some United Nations functions, reflecting an interventionist U.S. stance under a Don‑roe doctrine.
  • The charter names Trump chairman for life, granting him final authority and power to appoint members removable only by a two‑thirds veto; invitations went to leaders of around 60 states, and Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, offered to pay the $1bn price for permanent membership.
  • Among early supporters were Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Argentina, Turkey and Pakistan, while the EU largely steered clear and diplomats warned the UK has stayed away over Russia's inclusion.
  • It remains uncertain whether the initiative can reshape diplomacy if it lacks support from China, the European Union, Canada, Ukraine, Norway, Sweden, France and the UK, while analysts see Trump 2.0 as an expansionist interventionist.
