• Trump launched the initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, aiming for 'peace in the world' and claiming to be 'settling eight wars'.
• The initiative originated from a Gaza ceasefire plan but has expanded, with Trump suggesting it could assume roles currently held by the United Nations.
• Permanent membership requires a USD 1 billion contribution, and Trump is designated as permanent chairman, even after leaving office.
