Trump Prepares Signing Ceremony for 'Peace Council' in Davos – Participation Uncertain

Donald Trump is preparing a signing ceremony for the 'Peace Council' at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, but participation from countries remains uncertain. Trump has invited over 50 countries to sign the council's charter, which originated from a UN Security Council resolution regarding Gaza. However, the current charter makes no mention of Gaza and has a broader mission, while also indirectly criticizing the UN. Membership in the council requires a $1 billion contribution after an initial three-year term, which has drawn criticism. Trump would have almost complete control over the organization, including veto power and the authority to interpret the charter.
