Davos 2026: Trump unveils his 'board of peace', says 'everybody' wants to be part of it
The US President Donald Trump announced his "Board of Peace" at Davos on Wednesday. The a body is expected to resolve international conflicts with a $1 billion price tag for permanent membership.
Speaking at the forum, Trump said claimed that “everybody” wanted to be a part of the board. He said he would continue to “work with many others, including United Nations”.
Several close US partners, notably France and Britain, have voiced doubts, with London announcing on Thursday that it would skip the event.
Others, however, have confirmed their participation, especially from the Middle East, where Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt—countries seen as friendly to Trump—have agreed to attend.
A senior Trump administration official said on Wednesday that around 35 world leaders have confirmed so far, from roughly 50 invitations that were sent out.
The announcement of the board comes amid Trump’s visible frustration over failing to secure the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his contested assertion that he helped bring an end to eight conflicts.
