Trump's 'Peace Board': A Private UN With One Shareholder?

Former President Donald Trump has proposed a new body to manage global conflicts. His plan would create an international "board of peace." The board would function like a private company, with nations as shareholders. However, analysts note the United States would hold a controlling share. This structure could allow Washington to direct the board's decisions on issues like war and peace. Trump's proposal follows his 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan, which received UN endorsement in September 2025. The new board is seen as an attempt to institutionalize this style of private diplomatic deal-making. Critics question the board's durability and benefit. They argue it may replace multilateral groups like the UN with a system dominated by a single nation.
