Trump’s planned Peace Council suffers an image failure as key ideological allies from Europe, Israel, and Latin America decline to attend.
Romanian President Attends as Observer
President of Romania Nicușor Dan is attending the meeting as an observer rather than a full participant. It remains possible that other leaders may decide to join at the last minute.
Latin American Leaders Not on Current List
Notably absent are most right-wing leaders from Latin America, including El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele. These leaders are scheduled to visit Trump in early March.
Netanyahu Absent Despite Trump’s Support
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend, despite Trump’s consistent support. Netanyahu’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar is expected to be present in his place.
European MAGA Allies Missing
Notable absentees include key European allies of the MAGA movement, such as Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Poland’s Karol Nawrocki.
