US President Donald Trump on Jan 22 launched his Board of Peace, initially focused on shoring up Gaza’s ceasefire, but with a potentially broader role that could unsettle other global powers, even as he said it would work with the United Nations.

“Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do, and we’ll do it in conjunction with the United Nations,” Mr Trump said, adding that the UN had great potential that had not been fully utilised.

Mr Trump, who will chair the board, has invited dozens of other world leaders to join it and sees the group as addressing global challenges beyond Gaza, though he does not intend it as a replacement for the UN, he has said.
