Trump returns to Washington from Davos, calls Board of Peace "very special"

President Donald Trump returns from WEF, launches global Board of Peace, and promotes the Greenland project as "amazing for the U.S.A."

"The Board of Peace is something that the World has never seen before- Very special. - Donald Trump"

Washington DC, January 23

US President Donald Trump on Friday returned to Washington, D.C., after attending the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, highlighting that the Board of Peace is "something that the world has never seen before - very special."

Trump also spoke of the Greenland project, describing it as an initiative that will be "amazing for the U.S.A."

In his Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Heading back to D.C. It was an incredible time in Davos. The Greenland structure is being worked on, and will be amazing for the U.S.A., and the Board of Peace is something that the World has never seen before- Very special. So many good things are happening!

On Thursday, Trump formally launched the Board of Peace at the WEF, signing its charter and describing the move as a major step towards global conflict resolution.

Calling it a "very exciting day, long in the making", Trump said, "We're going to have peace in the world," and added, "And we're all stars.

In his opening remarks, Trump said, "Just one year ago the world was actually on fire, a lot of people didn't know it," but claimed "many good things are happening" and threats worldwide "are really calming down."

Trump, flanked by leaders from founding member countries, said his administration was "settling eight wars" and claimed that "a lot of progress" had been made towards ending Russia's war in Ukraine.

Thanking leaders who were present at the ceremony, Trump said, "We are truly honoured by your presence today," adding they were "in most cases very popular leaders, some cases not so popular." He also remarked, "In this group I like every single one of them."

Trump has previously described the newly-formed body as potentially the "most prestigious board ever formed."

The initiative originated from the US president's 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan endorsed by the UN Security Council, but has since expanded beyond its original scope. Administration officials said around 35 nations had committed to join, while 60 nations received invitations. Trump also suggested the new body could assume roles currently held by the United Nations.

The "Board of Peace" was unveiled as part of phase two of the fragile ceasefire agreement with Hamas to end the Israel-Gaza conflict, as reported by Al Jazeera.

"Settling eight wars" and calming threats worldwide? That sounds like a massive claim. I hope this isn't just political theatre. The world, especially regions like Gaza, needs real, sustained diplomacy, not just grand declarations at Davos. 🤞

Interesting. But what does the "Greenland structure" have to do with peace? And suggesting this board could replace UN roles... that seems like a power move. The international order needs reform, but it must be inclusive, not dominated by one country's vision.

From an Indian perspective, any global peace initiative is positive if it reduces oil price volatility and keeps shipping lanes safe. Our economy is sensitive to global instability. Cautiously optimistic, but the details matter.

"We are all stars" – typical Trump style. 😄 The idea is good, but the execution will be key. Hope India is actively involved if 60 nations are invited. We have a lot to contribute to global peacekeeping and conflict resolution.

A respectful criticism: Calling it the "most prestigious board ever" before it has done anything feels premature. True prestige is earned through action and outcomes, especially in something as complex as peace. Let's hope the work speaks louder than the words.
