Why Southeast Asia is wary of Trump’s ‘pay-to-play’ global peace board
AI Summary
Southeast Asian nations, including Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, are reportedly invited to join Donald Trump's proposed "Board of Peace," an initiative presented as a new international body to promote global stability. Analysts suggest these countries should carefully consider joining, viewing it as a US-centric alternative to the UN Security Council. The initiative, initially authorized by the UN Security Council to oversee the Gaza peace plan, may expand to address other conflicts. Experts note Trump's past skepticism towards the UN and see this board as an attempt to recenter global politics around the US, potentially giving him significant control. Some analysts believe Trump would hold considerable power as the chair of this "more exclusive version" of the UN Security Council.
