Watch: What is Trump’s Board of Peace about?

Published on
21/01/2026 – 16:04 GMT+1

Do you have a gym membership or a loyalty card in your wallet? Well, US President Donald Trump just launched the ultimate club.

It is called the Board of Peace. The official goal? To end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. But is it really?

The leaked charter suggests it is actually a rival to the UN, with Trump as chairman and Vladimir Putin on the guest list.

And just like an exclusive country club, there is an entry fee. Want a permanent seat? That will be $1 billion in cash. Basically, a thousand million bucks.

If you do not pay, your membership will expire in three years.

France looked at the price tag and the fact that it undermines the UN and said “non, merci.”

Trump did not take the rejection well. He threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines. So, do the math. That bottle of champagne you usually buy for $50? It could soon cost you $150.

And here in the EU? Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk just reminded his country’s president: you cannot just buy a seat. You need parliament’s permission.

Finally, in politics, silence is often louder than what you say. And the leaked charter for The Peace Board does not even mention the word “Gaza”.

So, until I find a spare billion to join the club… Peace out.

Watch the video in the player above for the full story.
