Trump Signs Board of Peace Charter at Davos

NPR·22 January 2026

Donald Trump signed the Board of Peace charter at Davos on 22 January 2026. It names him as inaugural chairman, with no fixed term, and requires him to designate a successor. Member states have renewable terms of up to three years; those contributing more than US$1 billion in cash within the charter's first year are exempt from that term limit. The board's charter has a wider peace-building mission than the Gaza role authorised by the UN Security Council.
