Trump Administration Proposes 'Board of Peace' with $1 Billion Option for Permanent Membership

The Trump administration has proposed a new international body called the "Board of Peace," aimed at promoting stability and governance in conflict-affected areas like Gaza. A draft charter suggests countries contributing at least $1 billion could secure permanent membership, bypassing a three-year term limit, with President Trump as inaugural chairman holding significant control over membership and decisions. The White House disputes the claim of a mandatory fee, describing permanent membership as based on commitment to peace. Critics view the board as a potential rival to the United Nations, raising concerns about centralized power and exclusionary membership.
