The Trump Board of Peace
The so-called Board of Peace, also known as the Peace Board or Council of Peace, is an independent international organization created and promoted by Trump.
Its nominal objective is to promote stability, restore legitimate governments, and contribute to a lasting peace in regions affected by armed conflicts.
With the formalization of the agreement, Kosovo is officially incorporated into the ISF and strengthens its participation in tasks related to the international mission to advance the 20-Point Peace Plan for Gaza.
