Former US President Donald Trump has a new idea for world peace. He calls it the "Board of Peace." This plan could change how countries work together. It is a more practical way to deal with international problems. Trump also has strong ideas about trade. He has threatened to add taxes to goods from allies.
The first meeting for this "Peace Council" will be in Washington. It is on February 19th. The meeting will focus on Gaza. Leaders from Cyprus and Greece are invited. Important members of the "Board of Peace" are from Hungary and Turkey. Russia was also invited. This shows Trump wants new partners. Countries are starting to look for different ways to work together.
Trump has also been very direct in his actions. The US helped to remove Venezuela's leader, Nicolas Maduro. However, Maduro is still important in his country. Trump has also threatened new taxes on goods. He warned Canada about a 100% tax. He also told the United Kingdom not to make trade deals with China. These actions might be used to get what he wants.
Trump also made a change to US taxes on Indian products. This happened because the EU and India are making a trade deal. However, Trump also threatened taxes on goods from some European countries. These taxes will start on February 1. European leaders are thinking about how to respond. This could affect markets.
