Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump to replace United Nations with "Board of Peace" with him as its Chairman... [View all]
Governments reacted cautiously on Sunday to U.S. President Donald Trump's invitation to join his "Board of Peace" initiative aimed at resolving conflicts globally, a plan that diplomats said could harm the work of the United Nations.https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/world-leaders-show-caution-trumps-broader-board-peace-amid-fears-un-2026-01-18/
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 chairmans approval.

Will that 1 billion go into an account that has his name and only he has control over it?

The Board of Peace sounds like something conjured up by a bunch of smoked-up hippies c.1960s San Francisco.
