Trump launches 'Board of Peace' aimed at resolving international conflicts
US President Donald Trump has launched his 'Board of Peace' - a body for resolving international conflicts, with a US$1 billion price tag for permanent membership. The ceremony took place on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The board was originally conceived to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza. But a draft of the charter does not limit its role to the Palestinian territory. Mr Trump said 59 countries have expressed support to bring peace to the Middle East. The US President offered few details on the board's mandate, specifically on how the panel will work or might pursue efforts to end global conflicts.
