Trump Claims Putin Accepted 'Board of Peace' Invite; Kremlin Says Reviewing Offer

  • US President Donald Trump claimed Vladimir Putin accepted an invitation to his 'Board of Peace' at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
  • The Kremlin, however, stated that Russia is still reviewing the offer and has not made a decision.
  • Putin mentioned that Russia's Foreign Ministry is studying the documents and consulting strategic partners before replying.
  • The initiative seeks a one billion dollar contribution for permanent membership, which Putin suggested could come from frozen Russian assets.
  • Initially presented for Gaza's reconstruction, the 'Board of Peace' charter's broad scope raises concerns about rivaling existing multilateral institutions like the UN.

Why It Matters: Trump's claim of Putin joining his 'Board of Peace' is contradicted by the Kremlin, which is still reviewing the offer.
