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.

U.S. Signals Deadline for Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks

The United States has hinted at stepping away from its efforts to mediate peace between Russia and Ukraine if significant progress is not achieved in the coming days. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking after high-level talks in Paris, emphasized the urgency of determining whether a peace deal is feasible in the short term.

Rubio described the discussions, which included U.S., Ukrainian, and European officials, as constructive and noted that they had outlined potential steps toward peace. However, he stressed that the U.S. cannot continue its involvement indefinitely without clear signs of progress. A follow-up meeting is expected to take place in London soon, which could be pivotal in deciding the future of these peace efforts.

The talks come amid growing concerns in Europe about the ongoing conflict and its broader implications. While some progress has been made, significant challenges remain, including disagreements over security guarantees and the conditions for a ceasefire. The U.S. administration has also faced mounting frustrations over the lack of resolution to this and other geopolitical challenges.

Rubio's remarks underline the delicate balance the U.S. is trying to maintain—pushing for peace while managing its own strategic priorities. The coming days will reveal whether these efforts can yield a breakthrough or if the U.S. will indeed "move on" from its mediation role.
