Trump wants ‘Board of Peace’ members to payBloombergUS President Donald Trump is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to contribute at least US$1 billion. Several European nations have been invited to join the peace board, according to people familiar with the matter. The peace board would hold regular non-voting meetings with its executive board. Trump would also have the power to remove a member, subject to a veto by a two-thirds majority of member states. “The Chairman shall at all times designate a successor for the role of Chairman,” the charter says.
