US EditionTrump’s wide ambitions for Board of Peace spark new support for the United Nations
President Trump formed the Board of Peace to oversee Gaza ceasefire and reconstruction, with 26 of 60 invited countries joining despite opposition from key global powers.
- On Jan. 29, President Donald Trump officially formed the Board of Peace and ratified its founding charter at the World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland, serving as chairman.
- After pulling back from multiple U.N. bodies, the U.S. formed the Board of Peace as part of President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to oversee Gaza reconstruction and transitional governance.
- So far, about 26 of approximately 60 invited countries have joined the board, requiring a $1 billion contribution threshold for membership under President Donald Trump.
- Major powers pushed back, with France, Spain and Slovenia declining due to overlap with United Nations principles and key Security Council members like China, France, Russia and the United Kingdom withholding support.
- Critics and rights groups warned that letters sent this month inviting founders coincided with bold U.S. foreign-policy shifts, raising alliance concerns as many governments, including South Korea, review invitations.
