Dozens of world leaders head to Washington for what White House says will largely be a fundraiser on Thursday
Dozens of world leaders and national delegations will meet in Washington DC tomorrow for the inaugural meeting of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, as major European allies declined to join the group and criticised the organisation’s murky funding and political mandate.
The White House has indicated that tomorrow’s summit for his new ad hoc council at the renamed Donald J Trump Institute of Peace will heavily function as a fundraising round, with Trump announcing on social media that countries have pledged more than $5bn toward rebuilding Gaza, which has been devastated in the war with Israel and remains in a humanitarian crisis.
. . .
But, despite Trump’s characteristic bombast, the Board of Peace summit will open to heavy scepticism, with expectations limited both for the meeting tomorrow in Washington and in the Middle East, where the 100-day peace and recovery plan announced by Jared Kushner in Davos has stalled and aid into Gaza remains at a trickle.
WHERE does this motherfucker get off?? What kind of lunatic still has the audacity to claim some right to head a Board of PEACE when 75% of the headlines I’ve read today said he’s been gasping, sweating and salivating in anticipation of getting to start yet another idiotic middle east war, this time with Iran, of all places…
It’s a “Board of Peace” that you can join the same way you could join the Board of Not Having Your Storefront Shot To Pieces, somewhere around 1920s Chicago: with regular payments.
