Trump Launches Board Of Peace, Putin Seeks To Use Frozen Assets For Sign-Up Fee
"US President Donald Trump launched the Board of Peace, a new body for resolving international conflicts, repeating his belief that a peace deal to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine "is coming very soon." The new body was originally focused on implementing the deal for ending the Israel-Gaza war, as approved by UN Security Council resolution 2803 in November, but Trump said it would work to ensure peace worldwide."
""We'll work with many others, including the United Nations," Trump said at a signing ceremony in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22, possibly a nod to concerns that the board would seek to supplant the UN, which Trump has often criticized. The ceremony was attended by leaders from Bahrain, Morocco, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan."

Trump said the board would collaborate with others, including the United Nations. Leaders from 20+ countries attended the Davos signing and agreed to join; Belarus, Israel, and Vietnam signaled willingness. No other permanent UN Security Council members attended. Russia offered to pay a $1 billion membership fee using frozen assets to support Gaza reconstruction.
