The Trump administration is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to contribute at least US$1 billion.<\/p>\n

According to a draft charter for the proposed group seen by Bloomberg, US President Donald Trump would serve as its inaugural chairman and would decide on who is invited to be members.<\/p>\n

Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter\u2019s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman. The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter\u2019s entry into force,\u201d the draft says.<\/p>\n

Critics are worried that Trump is trying to build an alternative, or rival, to the United Nations, which he has long criticised.<\/p>\n

The board is described in the charter as \u201can international organisation that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Trump administration is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,198469,5620,198471,198470,12,5618,198472,48658,643,129,3,17569,9805,123971,4870,21,19,22,20,25,24,3123],"class_list":["post-413954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-argentinas-javier-milei","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-board-of-peace","tag-canadas-mark-carney","tag-donald-trump","tag-gaza","tag-israeli-prime-minister","tag-jared-kushner","tag-marco-rubio","tag-middle-east","tag-news","tag-steve-witkoff","tag-the-trump-administration","tag-tony-blair","tag-united-nations","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
