Donald Trump has started a new group called the "Board of Peace." He announced this at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The group wants to help solve big world problems. It was first planned for Gaza. However, its work now includes many global issues. Some countries are not sure about this new group. They worry if it can really change things.
Trump will be the chairman forever. Fifty countries were asked to join. To be a permanent member, a country must give one billion dollars. This is a lot of money for many nations. Hungary and Cyprus signed up. However, most of the European Union did not. Countries from the Middle East and other regions showed more interest. This suggests a new group of nations is forming.
The idea for the board changed quickly. It started with Gaza. Then it became much bigger. Trump made decisions alone. He even removed Canada's invitation online. Canada said it would not pay the large fee. This shows Trump leads the group. Money and his decisions seem more important than working with many countries.
Some countries, like Cyprus, said no. They want to follow European Union rules. People also worry the "Board of Peace" might hurt the United Nations. The UN is a very old and important group. Trump's new board might try to make deals faster. Many big countries and allies of the US are not joining. This makes it hard to know if the board can bring lasting peace. Its future is unclear.
