At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Trump is promoting his proposed "Board of Peace," an initiative initially focused on the Gaza ceasefire that has expanded in scope. The White House plans a "charter announcement" for the board, which Trump envisions as a prestigious group potentially replacing some UN functions. While the administration claims 35 countries have agreed to join and 60 were invited, the membership remains uncertain. Russia is consulting with partners before committing, and questions have been raised about the inclusion of authoritarian leaders. Trump defends the inclusion of "controversial people" due to their influence. Egypt is among the countries that have announced they will join the board.
