The European Union's foreign policy division has expressed concerns over United States President Donald Trump's extensive authority within his newly established Board of Peace. According to a confidential document reviewed by Reuters, the bloc is wary of the concentration of powers in Trump's hands, which they believe conflicts with the European Union's constitutional principles and legal autonomy. The Board of Peace, designed to address global conflicts, has not gained widespread support among Western leaders, who remain hesitant to participate. The document further notes that the Board's charter diverges from the original mandate authorized by the United Nations Security Council and is now focused exclusively on the Gaza conflict.
