Trump's Peace Council Launch in Davos Marked by Limited Support

Donald Trump unveiled the Peace Council in Davos, which was signed by 19 countries, while claiming that “everyone wants to join.” The absence of traditional Western European allies was noticeable, with participation primarily from the Middle East and South America. Trump boasted about the US economy and humanitarian aid to Gaza, while leaving open the possibility of expanding the Council's operations to Hezbollah. There are fears that the Peace Council is an attempt to create a new UN under US supervision, with Trump calling the UN “useless” and a potential replacement.
