U.S. President Donald Trump made waves on January 22, 2026, by formally establishing his controversial 'Board of Peace' during a high-profile ceremony in Davos, Switzerland. The initiative, which Trump claims will 'revolutionize conflict resolution,' has drawn both skepticism and cautious optimism from global leaders.
🔍 The board's charter emphasizes 'diplomatic innovation and economic incentives' to address tensions, though details remain vague. Founding members include representatives from the Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, and several European nations. Notably absent were delegates from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran.
💬 'This isn’t your grandpa’s UN,' Trump declared during the signing, flanked by CEOs and diplomats. 'We’re cutting through red tape to get results.' Critics, however, question the board’s independence given Trump’s direct involvement.
🌐 The move comes as Davos 2026 focuses on 'Rebuilding Trust' in global institutions. Youth activists have already trended #PeaceOrProfit on social media, demanding climate action take priority over new diplomatic frameworks.
