‘Peace Council’: Candidate Countries to Pay €1 Billion for Permanent Seat

Donald Trump is promoting the creation of a 'Peace Council' aimed at fostering stability in conflict-ridden or threatened regions. According to the organization's 'statutory charter,' countries seeking a permanent seat must pay at least one billion euros in cash. The document criticizes the United Nations and calls for a more flexible and effective international organization. Trump will be the council's first president, with extensive powers, including the exclusive right to invite and remove state leaders, unless vetoed by two-thirds of the members. Member states have a three-year term, unless they pay the required amount, in which case their term is permanent.
