A proposed peace plan is drawing intense scrutiny after new reports suggest President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” could require a billion-dollar buy-in. A draft charter seen by Bloomberg indicates countries seeking permanent seats may be asked to contribute at least $1 billion, raising sharp questions about influence, access, and the commercialization of diplomacy.

The plan outlines a powerful international body chaired by Trump, with members serving three-year terms and permanence tied to financial contributions. With Trump retaining final approval over decisions and membership, critics warn the structure centralizes power and risks undermining credibility as part of his Gaza post-war framework.

00:00A peace plan is under fire.
00:23New reporting suggests President Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace
00:28may come with a staggering price tag.
00:30According to a draft charter seen by Bloomberg, countries seeking permanent seats could be
00:36asked to pay at least $1 billion, raising explosive questions about power, profit, and
00:43the future of global diplomacy.
00:45The draft outlines a powerful new international body, chaired by Trump himself, where invited
00:51countries would serve three-year terms.
00:54That permanence appears tied to cash.
00:57Nations contributing more than $1 billion in the first year could secure extended status.
01:03Under the proposal, each member gets one vote, but all decisions require the chairman's
01:09approval.
01:10Trump would also decide which countries are invited to join and when the Board officially
01:14comes into force.
01:17To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for the creation of a new international
01:23oversight body.
01:24The Board of Peace, we call it.
01:26The Board of Peace.
01:27Sort of a beautiful name.
01:28The Board of Peace, which will be headed not at my request.
01:35Believe me, I'm very busy, but we have to make sure this works.
01:41The leaders of the Arab world and Israel and everybody involved asked me to do this.
01:47So we'll be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States.
01:53The Board of Peace was announced as part of Trump's Gaza Peace Framework, aimed at overseeing
01:59post-war governance, reconstruction, security, and humanitarian aid.
02:04The Board would supervise a technocratic Palestinian body, while coordinating international support.
02:11Trump has reportedly invited leaders including Argentina's Javier Millet and Canada's Marc
02:17Carney.
02:18The founding executive includes heavyweights like Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and Tony Blair,
02:24with Trump pitching the Board as a faster alternative to the UN.
02:28Bloomberg reports some governments are uneasy, pointing to provisions that give the chairman
02:33sweeping control over funding priorities, agendas, and membership, while requiring massive
02:39upfront financial commitments.
02:42Critics warned the structure risks turning diplomacy into a pay-to-play system, where influence
02:48is purchased rather than earned.
02:50Supporters argue the funding could fast-track reconstruction and bypass stalled international
02:56institutions.
02:58The Board of Peace has already drawn criticism for lacking Palestinian representation at senior
03:03levels, and for blurring lines between governance and foreign control, even as Trump hints the
03:09model could expand to other global conflicts.
03:13For now, the charter remains a draft, but if confirmed, the billion-dollar buy-in could redefine
03:19how power is exercised in international peace efforts.
03:23The question hanging over it all – is this a new model for stability, or a monetization
03:28of global influence?
