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. It also suggests that nations contributing $1 billion within the first year could bypass term limits and secure a permanent seat.

U.S. Confirms Strike on Venezuelan Dock Amid Anti‑Drug Campaign

A US Air Force Boeing C-5 Galaxy is parked at José Aponte de la Torre airport in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, as US President Donald Trump sends fighter jets to the Caribbean island as part of his war on drug cartels.



The United States has carried out a strike on a dockside facility in Venezuela that President Donald Trump says was used to load boats involved in drug trafficking. Speaking to reporters in Florida, Trump described a “major explosion” at the site, calling it a key point where vessels “load up with drugs” before departing the country.

The president first referenced the operation during a radio interview days earlier, suggesting the strike occurred two nights prior. While Trump emphasized that the U.S. “hit them very hard,” he declined to specify whether the attack was conducted by the military or intelligence services, nor did he identify the exact location of the facility.

If confirmed, the strike would mark the first known U.S. land operation in Venezuela since Washington intensified its pressure campaign on President Nicolás Maduro’s government. The action follows a series of U.S. strikes on alleged drug‑smuggling boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific in recent months.

Venezuelan authorities have not publicly confirmed the incident, and U.S. officials have released no additional details. The lack of clarity leaves open questions about the scope of the operation and its implications for already strained U.S.–Venezuela relations.
