US President Donald Trump launched his 'Board of Peace' at the World Economic Forum in Davos, signing the charter alongside leaders from Bahrain, Morocco, Argentina, Hungary, and Qatar. Trump declared that the board, once fully formed, could act independently but would work in conjunction with the United Nations, and he claimed it would play a broader role beyond its original aim of ending the Gaza war. Despite Trump's assertion that 'every country' wants to join, key US allies such as the United Kingdom, France, and Canada declined participation, with the UK specifically citing the invitation extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair attended the launch as an executive member, joining Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner on the board. Trump also highlighted his peacemaking efforts, including a ceasefire in Gaza, and criticized Spain for not meeting military spending commitments like other members of the transatlantic alliance.
