The proposed Board of Peace by United States President, Donald Trump, is beginning to take shape as more countries join the initiative.
Naijaonpoint understands that the Board of Peace initiative is aimed at providing a united front to resolve international conflicts.
Trump first unveiled the idea last September while outlining his plan to end the war in Gaza, and has been extending invitations to other countries and their leaders to join the initiative.
According to a draft charter of the Board seen by Reuters, the scope has been extended beyond Gaza and Trump is expected to serve as the Board’s inaugural chairman and wield extensive executive powers, including the authority to veto decisions and remove members.
Naijaonpoint understands that membership of the Board is limited to three-year terms, unless countries pay $1 billion to fund its activities, a contribution that would grant them permanent membership.
Individuals already listed to serve as founding members on the Executive Board, include U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British prime minister Tony Blair, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
According to a senior White House official, around 35 world leaders have committed to joining the Board of Peace.
A check of the list shows several U.S. allies and a few controversial participants have signed up.
