Trump Wants Nations to Pay $1 Billion to Stay on His Peace Board

[highplainsdem]

Source: Bloomberg

The Trump administration is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to contribute at least $1 billion.

According to a draft charter for the proposed group seen by Bloomberg, President Donald Trump would serve as its inaugural chairman and would decide on who is invited to be members. Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman’s approval.

“Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman. The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter’s entry into force,” the draft says.

The board is described in the charter as “an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.” It would become official once three member states agree to the charter.

Trump is apparently trying to set up a Trump country club version of the United Nations.

Oh, and the draft charter says he'll be the one who approves the group's official seal, too.

[Ocelot II]

4. Why would a country want to belong to whatever the hell that is?

What powers does it have? What benefits would a member country have that the UN, which already exists for exactly the same stated purpose, doesn't offer? And where would that money really go? Looks like just another Trump grift.

[TheFarseer]

39. Would they promote peaceful actions

Like bombing other countries, threatening countries that won’t give you their resources, funding Genocide, helping Putin keep a war of aggression going and kidnapping leaders of other countries? Who wouldn’t want in on that?

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Let me get this straight:

You're Erdogan of Turkey.

You're invited to be on "The Board of Peace". You want to participate.

Turkey pays the one billion dollar registration fee.

You're at the table. You put on record that you believe 100% of Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and Israel should withdraw immediately.

Trump says, "Nope!" and keeps the $1,000,000,000.00.

[dalton99a]

6. Because Donald Trump represents peace, stability, and lawful governance

[NotHardly]

20. LOL, (wink wink, chuckle)

Yeah, he's the epitome of all that.

With an extortion bonus. Can every country please tell this clown to go fuck himself?

[Irish_Dem]

10. He will pocket all the money. The grift is endless.

[Tadpole Raisin]

51. Well SCOTUS did basically say bribes are not crimes -

Oh, excuse me - gratuities!

[jmowreader]

11. I'm trying to understand this here

A guy who invaded another country less than a month ago and is threatening to invade several others wants to set up...a Board of PEACE?

[eppur_se_muova]

22. In the Orwellian sense of the term. nt

16. Trump leveraging the U S military to replace UN with Rule if the Big Fish

Tabulation and Fantastication.

Release the Epstein Files.

[slightlv]

17. SMDH!

At first read, I thought this "Peace Board" was who was overseeing Gaza? Is he now proposing to replace the UN with this bastardized version of it?

[highplainsdem]

19. Apparently. Trump World Order.

[MLWR]

18. Every single one of those nations should tell him to FOAD.

WHAT A COLOSSAL EMBARRASSMENT. I will never forgive that effed-up excuse for a political party or the six effing fascist enablers of this horrible, greedy, self-dealing pedophile.

[eppur_se_muova]

23. OK, if each paying member gets a copy of ...

THE EPSTEIN FILES !!

[turbinetree]

26. Sounds good to me have to see if the corrupt minions in the white house know that the NATO Allies can play the game also

37. Making sense of Trump's Board of Peace appointments, role in Gaza's new phase - explainer

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-883643

"In addition to the Board of Peace, there are other layers of advisors and entities that will be involved in executing US President Donald Trump’s vision for Gaza. But, how will they work?

... This international transitional body for Gaza is not the only entity involved in the new phase of the plan. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) has also been announced. This is the Palestinian technocratic committee, which will play a key role in governing Gaza.

In addition to BoP, other entities and advisers will be involved in executing US President Donald Trump’s vision for Gaza. BoP’s executive board is one of these key parts. There is also the Office of the High Representative for Gaza and a Gaza executive board, as well as senior advisors joining BoP.

... First, there is BoP. Trump mentioned this board as far back as September 2025, when the peace deal was coming into view. Following the deal’s commencement on October 13, the UN also adopted a resolution endorsing the US-backed Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict. This is Trump’s 20-point road map for lasting peace, stability, reconstruction, and prosperity in the region.

Trump chairs BoP, while Nickolay Mladenov was chosen as a kind of director-general..."

[xocetaceans]

38. "It would be a shame if something happened to that nice country of yours!" It is an extortion racket. Will the money ...

... go to a bank account in the Middle East to be held with the oil money that Trump seems to have seized?

Trump needs to be removed from office at the Democrats earliest convenience or simply resisted effectively. They should shut down the government. Hopefully, Schumer is out of stationery and might have to turn to something stronger, something that works and qualifies as actual resistance. (I don't expect that, however.)

[Codifer]

42. Please Please

somebody tell me this is a joke.

I mean NOBODY could be that crazy or stupid...... could they?

Seriously...... if this is true we could be mortal danger. For real..... no joke.

[HighFired49]

56. I really did think it was a joke.

Nearly passed it bye thinking "How ridiculous, I'll find something else to read." Then I saw all of the replies. Sure enough, only something so fantastically stupid and unbelievable had to be coming from Dump. He can't even manage this country, let alone a foreign operation. Totally nuts!!!!!

[Solly Mack]

43. Grifting, grifting. Grifting the night away.

[EarthFirst]

45. Is the routing number for that payment coincidentally an account in Qatar?

…just curious; for transparency’s sake.

[Rhiannon12866]

49. Holy Hell! He thinks he's King of the World!!! Hasn't he embarrassed this country enough on the world stage??

[ananda]

50. This is nothing but an attempt to create a Nazi gang of nations.

The key words are: "subject to the chairman's approval."

[chowder66]

52. It's a Trumpian pun on Bored of Peace.

[Doodley]

53. Please somebody! Do what is needed to end this nightmare!

[WestMichRad]

54. Parody is officially dead.

WTAF???

[gordianot]

55. Pure protection racket.

An offer you just cannot refuse. I bet they will throw in a gold medal larger than the Nobel Peace Prize featuring Trump in his golden glory.

[thought crime]

57. Does anyone remember when there was something called the United Nations?

The Right waged a long war on the UN that eroded its power and effectiveness. They are doing the same with every other international organization, replacing them with corrupt business backed entities.

[Grins]

58. Just havta ask: Payable to whom?

Go on. Surprise me.

[C Moon]

59. He's beginning to sound like Dr. Evil from Austin Powers.

He'll do the same to U.S. states, soon.
