DAVOS — President Donald Trump announced the creation of what he described as a “Board of Peace,” outlining a new advisory body intended to focus on conflict resolution, national security stability, and diplomatic strategy. The announcement was made during remarks in which Trump emphasized his long-stated position that strong leadership and strategic deterrence are essential to preventing war rather than escalating it.
According to Trump, the Board of Peace would be composed of experienced figures drawn from military leadership, diplomacy, intelligence, and international negotiations. He said the board’s role would be to provide independent assessments on global conflicts, advise on de-escalation strategies, and recommend approaches that prioritize negotiated outcomes while maintaining U.S. strength and credibility abroad.
Trump framed the initiative as a response to what he described as increasing global instability, citing ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, rising tensions among major powers, and what he characterized as inconsistent foreign policy decisions by current leadership. He argued that peace is best achieved not through prolonged military engagement, but through leverage, clear red lines, and sustained diplomatic pressure backed by economic and strategic power.
The president also said the Board of Peace would focus on preventing conflicts before they escalate, including identifying early warning signs of war, assessing the effectiveness of sanctions and alliances, and examining how energy policy, trade, and defense spending intersect with global security. He emphasized that the board would not replace existing institutions but would serve as a strategic advisory mechanism aimed at long-term stability.
While Trump did not immediately release a full list of members or formal operating guidelines, he indicated that additional details would be announced at a later date. The proposal adds to his broader foreign policy messaging centered on deterrence, burden-sharing among allies, and reducing the likelihood of large-scale military conflicts through negotiated strength rather than prolonged warfare.
