Nations React to Reported $1 Billion Fee for Trump’s Peace Board

  President Trump said the Peace Board 'will embark on a new approach to resolving global conflict'. Reports surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace have ignited global debate after claims surfaced that countries may be asked to contribute $1 billion to secure or maintain permanent membership. The board, envisioned as a body overseeing governance and reconstruction efforts in Gaza, would reportedly be chaired by Trump himself, who would hold authority over which nations are admitted. A draft charter circulating among diplomats outlines three‑year membership terms, renewable only with the chairman’s approval.

Trump Picks Pam Bondi for Attorney General as Matt Gaetz Withdraws Amid Scandal

 

Former President Donald Trump has tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to serve as his Attorney General in his 2024 presidential campaign’s proposed Cabinet. The announcement comes after Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has consistently denied.

Bondi, a staunch Trump ally, served as Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 and was a prominent figure in Trump’s impeachment defense team in 2020. Known for her conservative stance on legal and social issues, Bondi’s appointment signals a continuation of Trump’s alignment with loyalists in key roles.

Other Key Cabinet Picks

Trump has also outlined several other choices for his potential Cabinet. These include:

  • Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State: Pompeo previously held the position during Trump’s first term, where he spearheaded diplomatic efforts like the Abraham Accords.
  • Larry Kudlow as Treasury Secretary: Kudlow, Trump’s former economic advisor, is a prominent advocate for supply-side economics.
  • Rick Perry as Energy Secretary: Perry, a former Texas governor, held this position during Trump’s earlier administration and remains a proponent of fossil fuel development.

Gaetz, a controversial figure in the Republican Party, withdrew his name after facing renewed scrutiny over past allegations of sexual misconduct. The claims have resurfaced in the wake of Trump’s consideration of him for the Attorney General post, despite Gaetz’s continued denials.

As Trump moves forward with his campaign, his Cabinet selections underline his strategy of leaning on familiar faces and staunch allies to help shape his policy direction.
