Trump claims Putin joins board of peace
President Donald Trump announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted an invitation to participate in the "Board of Peace," a new initiative aimed at resolving international conflicts, including the situation in Gaza. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump described the board as the "greatest and most prestigious" ever assembled, with himself as chairman, and emphasized the need for influential global leaders to collaborate on peace efforts.
The proposal forms part of Trump's broader strategy to address ongoing disputes, such as the Israel-Hamas conflict and reconstruction in Gaza, potentially involving a $1 billion contribution from unfrozen Russian assets as suggested by the Kremlin. However, Putin quickly clarified that Russia is still reviewing the invitation through diplomatic channels and consulting with strategic partners, refuting Trump's assertion of immediate acceptance. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted ongoing deliberations, while the White House continues extending invitations to other world leaders amid mixed responses from allies.
This development coincides with Trump's recent meetings, including one with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, highlighting efforts to engage major powers in multilateral diplomacy despite hesitations from some nations like France.
