The Trump administration is considering housing the new Board of Peace in the Washington D.C. building that formerly housed the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP). This potential move is connected to the Gaza ceasefire and broader international goals. The building's status is currently in legal limbo after the Trump administration seized it last year, fired most of the USIP staff, and renamed it the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace. Former USIP employees and executives filed a lawsuit, and a federal judge ruled the takeover illegal, stating that the USIP is an independent organization not subject to executive control. The government's appeal has put the enforcement of that decision on hold.
