Trump's 'Peace Council': A Potential Replacement for the UN?

Donald Trump is pushing for the creation of a 'Peace Council' as an alternative to the United Nations, with himself holding the presidency and extensive powers. According to a draft 'charter' obtained by AFP, the Council will aim to promote stability and guarantee peace in conflict zones. The text criticizes the UN and calls for a more flexible and effective organization. Trump will have the exclusive right to invite and remove members, with a veto power held by member states. Membership terms will be three years, unless a state contributes one billion dollars, in which case their term will be unlimited. The plan has sparked debate about the potential undermining of the UN's role.
