Nations paying $1 billion will get permanent seat on Trump's 'Board of Peace,' report says

The Trump administration is seeking $1 billion from countries interested in securing long-term membership in a newly proposed international body called the “Board of Peace,” according to a draft of the plan reviewed by Bloomberg News.

Under the proposal, nations that contribute at least $1 billion within the organization’s first year would be exempt from standard term limits and effectively gain a permanent seat. Countries that fall short of that threshold would be limited to three-year terms, subject to renewal at the discretion of President Donald Trump, who would serve as the board’s first chairman.

The draft charter grants Trump sweeping authority over the group, including the power to select which countries are invited to join and to approve all final decisions. While member states would vote on matters by simple majority, any outcome would still require the chairman’s sign-off to take effect.

The Board of Peace is described as “an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.”

The charter states that the organization would formally come into existence once at least three countries agree to its terms.

Trump would also retain control over symbolic and administrative aspects of the group, including approval of its official seal, according to the document.

Trump has invited world leaders to join the board, including Argentina President Javier Milei, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The White House has not publicly responded to the report about the $1 billion.
