U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday unveiled the Board of Peace, a new international body aimed at resolving global conflicts and overseeing post-war reconstruction, beginning with Gaza.

Why Trump Is Taking on the UN

Trump argues the UN has become slow, bureaucratic, and politically compromised.
The Board of Peace is designed to:

  • Replace UN crisis mechanisms with a faster U.S.-led structure

  • Remove veto powers and permanent members

  • Directly control aid, security, and reconstruction

  • Build a new global order based on strategic alignment rather than universal membership

Trump has long criticised the United Nations as slow, bureaucratic, and politically biased. He has argued that the organisation passes resolutions but fails to stop wars. The Board of Peace is designed as a smaller, faster decision-making forum without veto powers, allowing the U.S. to coordinate security, aid and reconstruction directly with aligned nations.

By bypassing UN agencies, the new body places Washington at the centre of global crisis management, shifting power away from traditional multilateral institutions toward a U.S.-led coalition.

A New World Order?

With many Western democracies staying out and several Middle Eastern and Asian nations joining, the Board of Peace signals a reorganisation of global alliances. Whether it becomes an effective peace platform or a geopolitical power tool will shape international diplomacy in the years ahead.
