Trump's 'Board of Peace' Gains 20 More Countries; White House Confirms Expansion

• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced 20 additional countries have joined Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' initiative, without naming them.
• The Board, initially for Gaza management, is now positioned to address global conflicts, facing resistance from some Western nations concerned about sidelining the UN.
• Leavitt highlighted the return of the last Israeli hostage from Gaza as a significant foreign policy achievement for Trump, Israel, and the global community.
• Trump formally launched the initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, describing it as potentially the "most prestigious board ever formed" and aiming for world peace.
• The charter reportedly requires a USD 1 billion contribution for permanent membership and designates Trump as permanent chairman, even after leaving office.

Why It Matters: Trump's 'Board of Peace' expands globally, attracting more nations despite concerns over its UN-sidelining potential.
