Trump wants $1 billion from each country to join the Peace Council

According to the draft statute, each member country would have a term of up to three years if it does not pay the $1 billion within the first year of the Council's operation. This three-year term can be renewed only with the approval of the organization's president — a role that, according to the articles of the draft, Trump himself would have.

The logic behind the proposal, according to foreign publications, is to finance the operation and work of this new institution, which is initially linked to peacemaking and reconstruction in Gaza but may be expanded to other conflict areas. The very name and content of the charter leave room for a broader role beyond the Middle East.

The move has already caused strong reactions. Critical comments emphasize that the proposal looks like an attempt to create a new international organization, even competitive with the UN, with a "ticket" based on financial contributions and a central role for the US.

Main points of the proposal

Each country that wants permanent participation will have to pay at least $1 billion in funding within the first year.

Without this contribution, countries only have a three-year term, and this is subject to the approval of the president.

Trump is expected to play a key role in the composition and operation of the council, including approving seals and operating regulations.

European countries and other potential participants have received invitations, but there is already controversy over the economic and political content of the proposal.

The US government has described some of the reports as misleading, saying it has not officially confirmed the amount or the mandatory nature of the “ticket”, but the draft statute cited by many sources is the one widely circulated in the international media.
