Trump's 'Board of Peace': China Invited, France Rejects, $1 Billion for Permanent Seat

  • Donald Trump proposed a 'Board of Peace' to manage global conflicts, initially focusing on Gaza, with invitations sent to dozens of nations.
  • China confirmed receiving an invitation but has not yet accepted or declined; France explicitly rejected joining, citing concerns about UN principles.
  • The board structure includes a lifetime chair for Trump and three-year terms for members; a $1 billion payment secures permanent membership, earmarked for Gaza's reconstruction.
  • Morocco, UAE, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Hungary, and Argentina have accepted invitations; Russia and Thailand are still reviewing the proposal.
  • No country has publicly committed to paying the $1 billion for permanent membership, with the UK consulting allies and Israel's response pending.

Why It Matters: Trump's 'Board of Peace' faces mixed international reactions, with financial contributions for permanent seats a key point.
