US President Donald Trump has unveiled plans for what he calls a “Board of Peace,” a proposed advisory group aimed at guiding US-backed diplomatic efforts to resolve major global conflicts.
Trump said the initiative would bring together a select group of political figures, foreign policy advisers, retired military officials, and business leaders with international negotiating experience. The board’s purpose, according to Trump, would be to pursue peace through direct talks, economic leverage, and strategic diplomacy rather than prolonged military involvement.
The proposal reflects Trump’s long-standing belief that global conflicts can be resolved through deal-making and personal engagement between leaders, rather than traditional diplomatic bureaucracy. He has argued that existing international mechanisms are often slow and ineffective in preventing wars or bringing them to an end.
While no official list of members has been released, Trump indicated the Board of Peace would remain small and flexible, allowing it to operate quickly and outside conventional diplomatic channels. The group would not replace institutions such as the United Nations, but would seek to influence peace negotiations through informal dialogue and mediation.
The announcement has drawn mixed reactions, with supporters calling it an innovative approach to diplomacy and critics warning it could bypass established alliances and institutions.
For now, the Board of Peace remains a proposal, with questions still surrounding its structure, authority, and potential impact on global diplomacy.
