"The Trump administration is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to contribute at least $1 billion. 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."
"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."
The Trump administration is proposing a new Board of Peace to promote stability, restore lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in conflict-affected areas. President Donald Trump would be the inaugural chairman with authority to decide invitations, approve decisions and the group's official seal. Members would have one vote each and decisions would be majority-based but subject to the chairman's approval. Permanent membership would require at least $1 billion in contributions to bypass three-year term limits. The board would become official after three member states agree to the charter. Several world leaders and European nations have been invited; Israel expressed concern about coordination.
