Trump Launches Board of Peace at Davos
US President Donald Trump has created a new group called the Board of Peace to help solve global conflicts.
This group includes leaders from many countries, like Israel, the UAE, and India.
The board will be announced at a big meeting in Switzerland.
Countries that give a lot of money can become permanent members.
Some people think this board might become as important as the United Nations.
The board's leader will have a lot of power, and some countries are still deciding if they want to join.
US President Donald Trump launched the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The board is initially focused on the Gaza ceasefire but aims to address broader global conflicts.
Permanent membership requires a $1 billion contribution, with around 35 countries committed to join.
Major global powers like France, Britain, and China have not yet committed to joining the board.
The board's charter grants its chairman extensive executive authority, including the power to veto decisions and remove members.
