Trump Signs Founding Charter of 'Peace Council' in Davos

Donald Trump signed the founding charter of the 'Peace Council' in Davos, officially establishing it as an international organization. Initially conceived to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza, the Council's mandate has been broadened to encompass the management of other global conflicts. Trump expressed confidence that the Council would work in coordination with the UN, while also criticizing the organization for underutilizing its potential. The ceremony was attended by approximately 20 world leaders who have accepted Washington's proposal to join the Council. Caroline Levitt, White House spokesperson, announced the charter's entry into force and the official founding of the organization. Trump emphasized that success in Gaza would serve as a springboard for expanding the Council's activities to other issues. He expressed hope that, once fully formed, the Council would be able to achieve significant results. The signing of the charter marks a new US effort to take a leading role in resolving international conflicts, alongside criticism of the UN. The expansion of the Council's mandate beyond Gaza suggests an ambition for broader geopolitical influence.
