Trump’s newly announced Board of Peace is drawing global attention after securing early commitments from several countries, while also facing resistance from key Western nations. The initiative reportedly requires a $1 billion contribution for permanent membership, making it one of the most exclusive diplomatic platforms proposed in recent years.
Countries including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, along with Albania and Vietnam, have confirmed participation. In a major development, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia could fund its entry following a peace agreement in Ukraine. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted a role as a founding member despite ongoing tensions in Gaza.
Not all reactions have been positive. Germany, Norway, France, Sweden, and Denmark declined to join, citing concerns over the board’s structure and possible overlap with the United Nations. Critics remain cautious about how the body would function in practice.
Trump is expected to officially unveil and sign the initiative at a Davos ceremony on Thursday, a move that is likely to intensify debate over whether this $1B-backed effort can reshape global peace talks.
