Leaders gathered in Davos for Trump’s Peace Council signing, with him praising Polish President Nawrocki.
Meeting in Davos
On Thursday, January 22, a meeting of invited leaders was held during the World Economic Forum in Davos to establish Donald Trump’s Peace Council. Politicians are set to sign the founding document of this body.
Trump stated: “No one thought this would be possible; everyone wants to be part of it. We will cooperate with others, including the UN. I would also like to thank President Nawrocki of Poland. A great man, he won elections, and I am very proud of him.”
Earlier, it was reported that Karol Nawrocki would attend the meeting but not sign the founding document. Trump also claimed the UN has “huge potential” but fails to utilize it, though he worked to end “eight wars” without speaking to UN personnel.
Member States
Trump invited approximately 60 countries to join the Peace Council. Over a dozen nations have accepted, including Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.
Poland’s Position
Polish President Karol Nawrocki received an invitation to the Peace Council. He has not yet informed if Poland will join the body formed by Trump. Marcin Przydacz, head of the Presidential Office of International Policy, stated: “Poland expresses objective interest in further developments regarding the Peace Council,” adding the matter “requires further analysis.”
Council Function
The Peace Council will oversee the activities of the temporary “Palestinian technical government” in the Gaza Strip and assist in resolving other global conflicts. Trump will be its lifetime chair, with final authority to approve or veto proposals. Membership costs $1 billion. Trump suggested the council could potentially replace the UN in the future.
