What is Trump's 'Board of Peace' and who has joined so far?

President Trump unveiled a U.S.-led Board of Peace with 25 nations to oversee Gaza reconstruction and global conflicts, offering permanent seats for $1 billion contributions.

  • On January 22, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump held a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, launching the U.S.-backed Board of Peace to oversee the Gaza ceasefire and broader peacebuilding.
  • The draft charter specifies three-year membership terms with a $1 billion payment for permanent membership, grants President Donald Trump extensive executive powers, and frames the Board of Peace charter as a broader peacebuilding organization.
  • Steve Witkoff said on Wednesday, `I think we have north of 20, maybe 25 world leaders who have already accepted`, and founding board members include Tony Blair, Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner.
  • France, Norway and Sweden have declined or expressed reservations, while President Donald Trump threatened 200% tariffs on French wine if Paris did not join and Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it would be "very hard" to join alongside Russia.
  • Questions remain about the board's legal authority as it remains unclear how the Board of Peace would work with the United Nations, while invitations were sent to more than 50 invited world leaders but the White House has not published the list.
