President Javier Milei will accept the invitation from the United States to join the Board of Peace. This Peace Council constitutes a body recently created by Donald Trump to intervene in the resolution of global conflicts. However, Argentina will not pay the USD 1.000 billion that is requested from countries that seek to secure a permanent place within the group.
National authorities confirmed this, and they explained that this contribution is not mandatory for joining, but rather functions as a mechanism to guarantee future continuity within the body. In Argentina's case, the Government doesn't plan to make any disbursement.
Both presidents could cross paths this Wednesday in Switzerland, since they will speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos with just one hour between their appearances. But, for the moment, there is no formal bilateral meeting scheduled on the agenda.
Trump's invitation and Milei's political support
The good rapport between Argentina and the United States is going through one of its best moments. It is not only reflected in the recent invitation, but also in the progress of a trade agreement that could be signed soon.
Days ago, Milei publicly confirmed that he received the invitation for Argentina to join, as a founding member, the Board of Peace. The proposal was formalized through a letter sent by the U.S. President.
In that letter, Trump called on Milei to accompany him in his "historic and magnificent effort to consolidate peace in the Middle East". He added that, at the same time, the aim is to undertake a new and bold approach to solve the global conflict.
The body was announced on September 29, 2025, in the context of the presentation of a plan to address the territorial dispute in the Gaza Strip. On November 17 of that same year, the United Nations Security Council approved by majority Resolution 2803, which backed the initiative promoted by Trump.
Faced with the invitation, Milei replied: "Argentina will always stand on the side of the countries that fight terrorism head-on, that defend life and property, and that promote peace and freedom."
