Trump Invites Putin to $1 Billion ‘Board of Peace’ Amid Global Shock

President Donald Trump has just launched one of the most ambitious international peace initiatives in decades and it’s already flipping the global order on its head.

Announced on Truth Social last week, Trump’s new “Board of Peace” is intended to oversee the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a transitional governance body that will replace Hamas control in the region. But what started as a Gaza-centered effort has ballooned into something far bigger: a possible rival to the United Nations and a new center of global diplomacy.

And the guest list? Absolutely historic.

• Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazil’s far-left President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Hungary’s nationalist leader Viktor Orbán, and Argentine President Javier Milei are just a few of the names being floated.

• Countries are reportedly being asked to either serve three-year terms or pay $1 billion for permanent membership a bold move that’s both strategic and symbolic.

• Trump retains full control of the board’s membership and decisions, according to leaked documents.

The board’s draft charter frames it not just as an advisory group but as an "International Organization and Transitional Governing Administration" with sweeping powers, specifically designed to cut through bureaucratic deadlock and restore order in regions torn by terrorism and weak leadership.

Naturally, Trump’s critics are losing their minds. French officials are reportedly declining the invitation, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is hedging on whether to join. But others particularly nationalists and anti-globalists are embracing the bold vision. Prime Minister Orbán called the invitation “an honor,” and Milei praised Trump for focusing on peace and stability starting with Gaza.

While the left wrings its hands over Trump’s audacity, the truth is this is long overdue. The United Nations has failed repeatedly to prevent bloodshed and hold terror regimes accountable. What Trump is offering is a new model for peace led by strength, not weakness, and with real consequences for those who defy order.

The executive board is just as high-powered:

• U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio

• Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair

• World Bank President Ajay Banga

• Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner

• Apollo CEO Marc Rowan, among others

This board will supervise the NCAG, headed by Ali Shaath, a respected Palestinian engineer with deep local ties. Notably, Hamas has agreed to step down once the NCAG takes over a move that signals Trump’s diplomacy is actually getting results where others failed for decades.

Still, not everyone is on board. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced opposition over Qatari and Turkish involvement in the transitional process, vowing that no foreign troops from those nations would be allowed in Gaza. Trump officials, however, say those decisions are still being negotiated, and no outside forces will be permitted to operate outside the NCAG’s authority.

Critics are also stunned by the invitation to Putin but Trump’s strategy is clear: bring every power with real influence to the table and give them a stake in the outcome. By doing so, Trump isolates rogue actors and brings accountability to global peace enforcement, a task the UN long ago abandoned.

And let’s be honest Trump isn’t interested in virtue-signaling. He’s interested in results. The inclusion of strongman leaders isn’t about ideology; it’s about making peace real, enforceable, and enduring.

In an era where global institutions have lost credibility and effectiveness, Trump’s Board of Peace offers a new way forward. The left can scoff at the billion-dollar membership fee, but the real cost of peace is much higher and Trump understands that better than anyone.
