Details: Before signing the documents, Trump said that he is confident that "just about every country wants to be a part of it".
Representatives of fewer than 20 countries attended the signing ceremony. None of the US traditional western European allies were present.
Most countries represented on stage in Davos were from the Middle East and South America. Participants included the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina and Paraguay.
From the European Union, the prime ministers of Hungary and Bulgaria took part in the ceremony. Representatives of four European countries outside the EU also attended: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Türkiye and Kosovo.
Quote: "In this group, I like every single one of them. Can you believe it? Usually I have two or three I can't stand. I don't see any of those here."
More details: According to Trump's plans, the "Board of Peace for Gaza" is to be created under the broader umbrella of the "Board of Peace".
Background:
- A draft charter of the "Board of Peace" that has been seen by Reuters says that Trump is to lead the council for life, even if he is no longer US president.
- On 20 January, self-proclaimed Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko became the first world leader to sign an official confirmation that his country would accept Trump's invitation to join the "Board of Peace".
- Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is ready to contribute US$1 billion from Russian assets frozen in the United States to US President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace for Gaza".
