One of Donald Trump’s agendas that has caught many people off guard is his proposed Board of Peace, which initially started with the sole goal of reconstructing Gaza. However, as more information about the proposed organization came to light, more and more world leaders began expressing doubt. Now, even the UN is concerned because, reportedly, it was Trump’s plan to replace it all along and hire himself as chairman “indefinitely.”
According to its charter, the Board of Peace is “an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.” That does seem a little odd, considering the best descriptor for such an organization would be a non-governmental organization — which, under normal circumstances, are always welcome in the international community and, given its altruistic goals, sound like they would make the world a better place.
