Trump's Board of Peace Fails to Win Global Buy-In, UN Remains Central

Trump's proposed Board of Peace, initially framed as Gaza-focused, has not gained traction abroad as major powers and several allies declined to join a broader, potentially global mandate; the UN Security Council remains the primary body for peace and security, per Secretary-General Guterres. Rubio says the board's focus is Gaza for now, but critics warn it could become a Trump-led 'fan club' rather than a real replacement for the UN. About 26 of roughly 60 invited nations have joined, while the UK, France, Spain, Slovenia and others declined; India did not attend Davos; the plan's charter also gives Trump leadership and veto power, provoking concerns about undermining the post-World War II international order.
