A $1 Billion Entry Fee for Peace? Trump Board of Peace Gaza Strategy
US President Donald Trump proposes a 'Board of Peace' for Gaza with a $1 billion entry fee, aiming to sideline the UN. Global markets react as tariff threats mount.
Peace just got a hefty price tag. President Donald Trump has invited over a dozen nations to join his newly proposed 'Board of Peace' for Gaza, with a mandatory contribution of $1 billion for permanent membership. According to Reuters and other sources, Trump's ambition goes beyond the Middle East, suggesting this new grouping might eventually replace the United Nations.
The Trump Board of Peace Gaza: Pay-to-Play Diplomacy
As of January 21, 2026, the White House is aggressively courting partners across Asia. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is among the leaders invited to the panel. However, the offer comes with a side of coercion. To pressure France's Emmanuel Macron into joining, Trump has threatened tariffs on French wine. Similar threats against 8 NATO members have already caused US stocks to sink, reflecting market anxiety over this transactional approach to global security.
Allies on the Edge
The reaction from world leaders remains cautious. While the UK faces criticism from Trump over its Chagos deal, countries like Canada are signaling a thaw with Beijing by opening doors to Chinese EVs. This shift suggests that Trump's 'Board of Peace' might be inadvertently accelerating a move toward a multipolar world where the US is no longer the sole arbiter of order.
