Trump gets a crucial point that most analysts, policymakers and even global leaders miss. China, for all its claims and status as America’s peer competitor, is not interested in an open conflict with the United States.

Trump Considers Expanding 'Board of Peace' to Ukraine, Other Global Conflicts

  • Donald Trump is reportedly considering expanding the newly formed "Board of Peace," initially for Gaza reconstruction, to address other global conflicts.
  • The board's executive committee includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Tony Blair, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner.
  • The Trump administration views this body as a potential alternative to the UN for resolving international disputes.
  • Its expansion to conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war and Azerbaijan-Armenia tensions depends on its success in Gaza.
  • Ukraine sees the board as a crucial element for potential peace negotiations with Russia, possibly monitoring a 20-point peace framework.

Why It Matters: Trump plans to expand his 'Board of Peace' beyond Gaza to tackle global conflicts, potentially replacing the UN's role.
