Trump’s peace board no match for UN and a possible boon to China, analysts find

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Analysts believe that Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace is unlikely to rival the United Nations due to legal ambiguities, funding concerns, and credibility issues. The board, initially conceived to oversee Gaza's reconstruction following Trump's ceasefire plan, could potentially expand its role to other conflicts, raising concerns about challenging the UN's authority. While Trump stated the board would work with the UN, its draft charter suggests a broader scope. Experts suggest China may cautiously view the initiative, potentially seeing an opportunity to increase its influence in regional security if the US diverts its attention. The board's long-term viability remains uncertain.
