Trump wants nations to pay $1 billion to stay on his peace board

According to a draft charter for the proposed group seen by Bloomberg, President Donald Trump would serve as its inaugural chairman and would decide on who is invited to be members. Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman’s approval.

“Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman. The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter’s entry into force,” the draft says.

The board is described in the charter as “an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.” It would become official once three member states agree to the charter.

Trump would also be responsible for approving the group’s official seal, the document says.

White House officials didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

Trump has invited a number of world leaders, including Argentina’s Javier Milei and Canada’s Mark Carney, to be part of a Board of Peace for Gaza, which would be formed under the broader umbrella of his new Board of Peace.

That plan attracted swift criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said the details hadn’t been coordinated with his country.


This is what happens when an ego is in the upper 1% and intelligence is on the left side of the curve.

Trump is starting his BRICS, and the critics are right. But I don't respect the UN either.

"Critics are worried that Trump is trying to build an alternative, or rival, to the United Nations, which he has long criticized."

I cant imagine anyone joining. This is the problem with the groupthink mentality of the loyalists that work for Trump. Becuase the minute they disagree, they are tossed. I think it is getting worse too. I have doubts Trump can finish his term.

Trump wants
I checked your thread history and you have literally been complaining about Trump, non-stop, for 10 years. Think about how deranged that is. Think about what your life has become. Think about what you will see as you lay on your death bed and look back on the way you spent your time. Memento mori.

Tell me how this is a bad thing besides Trump did it.

According to its charter and supporting documents, the Board of Peace is intended to:

  • Oversee reconstruction of Gaza after years of war
  • Support governance capacity-building and economic recovery
  • Mobilize large-scale international investment and funding
  • Coordinate regional relations and stability efforts
  • Work in tandem with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (a Palestinian technocratic committee handling day-to-day governance) and an International Stabilization Force tasked with security.

It's kind of interesting that Israel isn't involved or invited. I question why Tony Blaire part of it, and I know he didn't fork out a billion.

I think Trump's behavior is now disturbing even to Stephen Miller. They are likely finding ways to isolate the world from some of his crazier ideas.

IGood you provide deeperinsight into this. I would be fine if just handling gaza. But it just more world governance directing others instead of letting the markets do it. Seems it could be fodder to the anti-christ system. What happens when the democrats take lower? To me resis world governance and instead this creates more of it.

This is key. Wannabee dictators never consider that they might be building weapons for their enemies. Do you trust democrats with the sort of authoritarian powers Trump is trying to obtain? I don't trust anybody with that kind of political power.
