Donald Trump launched a "board of peace" at the World Economic Forum in Davos, an initiative initially endorsed by the UN Security Council to broker a Gaza ceasefire. Trump has since expanded the board's mission to resolving global conflicts, with himself as chair, aiming to reshape the global order. Several European countries have declined to join, fearing it could undermine the UN. The board requires permanent members to contribute $1 billion. Its logo, revealed recently, bears a striking resemblance to the UN emblem, featuring a globe with olive branches, but rendered in gold and focused on the Americas. While Trump claims the board will "work with" the UN, the logo's design has drawn criticism for its perceived US-centric focus and aesthetic.
