President Donald Trump unveiled and signed Thursday the charter for his “Board of Peace,” formalizing a body the White House first pitched last fall as part of its Gaza plan and now framing it as a wider forum for addressing conflicts worldwide.
At a signing ceremony in Davos, Switzerland, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Trump released and signed the charter, attended by representatives from 21 countries including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kazakhstan and Turkey.
Trump said at the ceremony that he’d settled “eight wars” and hoped that the war in Ukraine was next, calling the conflict with Russia “one that I thought was going to be an easy one turned out to be probably the most difficult.” He claimed that the war in Gaza is “coming to an end” with only “little fires” to put out remaining. He also claimed that Iran “does want to talk, will talk.”
