This week, Bloomberg News revealed that the Trump administration is proposing a new “Board of Peace” and charging countries wanting a permanent seat at least US$1 billion. 💸🌍
According to the draft charter, the board would be led by President Donald Trump as its inaugural chair, with members appointed by him. Each country would serve up to three years—unless they cough up that billion in cash during the first year, which grants them an unlimited membership term. 💰🤝
Fans of geopolitics are raising eyebrows: Could this US-led body become a rival to the UN? Critics point out that only the richest nations could afford to stay on board permanently, potentially reshaping global power dynamics. 🔍🏛️
Neither the White House nor former President Trump’s team has commented yet, so it’s still unclear whether this draft will ever see the light of day. Stay tuned as we follow whether the $1 billion ticket becomes reality or fades into another political proposal. ⏳👀
