At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump launched his "board of peace" initiative, claiming the world is currently "richer, safer, and more peaceful" than a year ago. The signing ceremony included ministers and heads of government from 19 countries, including Morocco, Hungary, and Saudi Arabia. Trump stated the organization, which he will chair, could be "one of the most consequential bodies ever created" and suggested it could potentially work with or even supplant the United Nations. The board was initially conceived as part of a Gaza ceasefire plan but has since expanded to encompass a broader geopolitical role. Trump also repeated his claim to have stopped eight wars.
