Trump Plans 'Peace Council' to Rival UN, Threatens Tariffs on France

Donald Trump intends to establish a 'Peace Council' under his supervision, which will function as an alternative to the UN. According to a document obtained by AFP, the Council will have broad powers and resolve conflicts worldwide. Membership in the Council will cost one billion dollars for a three-year term, unless member states pay a larger amount. Trump will be the first president of the Council and will have significant powers, including the right to invite and dismiss heads of state, as well as veto decisions. Additionally, he threatens France with 200% tariffs if it does not join the Council.
