AI Summary

short article 1 min

The Trump administration is proposing a new international organization called the Board of Peace, chaired initially by Donald Trump. A draft charter indicates that countries seeking permanent membership would need to contribute at least US$1 billion. Other member states would serve three-year terms, subject to renewal by the chairman. The Board aims to promote stability and peace in conflict zones. Critics express concern that this initiative could become a rival to the United Nations, an organization Trump has frequently criticized. The draft charter outlines a structure where decisions are made by majority vote but are subject to the chairman's approval.
