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.

The White House has pushed back on the reports, calling them misleading and insisting that no mandatory membership fee exists. Officials acknowledged that major financial contributors could receive greater influence but denied that any fixed price tag is part of the plan.

The proposal has already drawn mixed reactions. Some governments have raised concerns about the optics of linking peace‑process participation to financial contributions, while others are waiting for clearer details before responding publicly.
