Donald Trump is Creating His Version of the UN - "Council of Peace." Entry Costs $1 Billion
Currently, as reported by FT, the "Council of Peace," led by Donald Trump, is focused on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. However, Western and Arab diplomats express concerns that expanding its functions could lead to competition with the UN.
According to diplomatic sources cited by FT, the U.S. has proposed extending the activities of the "Council of Peace" to Venezuela, where the situation has escalated following the U.S. military's attempt to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro.
Regarding Ukraine, a senior official from Kyiv involved in negotiations with Washington noted that the new "Council of Peace," also led by Trump, could play a key role in resolving the conflict with Russia. Currently, the possibility of creating a specialized body to address Ukrainian-Russian issues is being considered.
According to an FT source, the Ukrainian "Council of Peace" could include representatives from Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and NATO to oversee the implementation of the 20-point peace plan proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that the White House plans to set a $1 billion fee for participation in the "Council of Peace." However, the administration denied this information, calling it "misleading," and clarified that there is no minimum fee for membership, and that it concerns granting permanent membership provided the principles of peace and security are upheld.
According to Bloomberg, Donald Trump will be the first chairperson of the new international body, and the membership term in the "Council of Peace" is limited to three years, with the possibility of extending the mandate by the chairperson.
