Trump's 'Board of Peace' Goes Global: A New Rival to the UN Order?
President Trump's Board of Peace is expanding its mandate to resolve global conflicts, signaling a major challenge to the UN. Leaders from Argentina, Turkey, and Canada have been invited.
Is the United Nations about to face its biggest rival yet? What started as a focused mechanism to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza is morphing into a massive international entity. President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' is now aiming for a far broader mandate, potentially upending the post-World War II international order.
Trump Board of Peace Global Expansion: The Davos Reveal
On January 16, 2026, Trump sent invitation letters to world leaders, including Argentine President Javier Milei and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, inviting them to be "founding members" of the board. According to the Associated Press, the board's official launch is expected next week during the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The board isn't just a talk shop. Trump described it as a "new International Organization and Transitional Governing Administration." The roster of involved figures is heavy-hitting, featuring Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former British PM Tony Blair, and World Bank President Ajay Banga.
Geopolitical Friction and the UN Alternative
The administration's move signals a deep frustration with the United Nations. A senior U.S. official suggested that while the board isn't explicitly intended to replace the UN, it aims to galvanize international action where the world body has failed. However, this radical shift faces stiff opposition. China and Russia, who hold veto power in the UN Security Council, aren't likely to welcome a U.S.-led alternative that bypasses their influence.
Even allies are cautious. Israel's government voiced objections on Saturday, stating the board's executive committee was "not coordinated with Israel" and runs contrary to its current policies.
