Trump’s Board of Peace: Leaders Convene to Chart Its Future
How the Newly Formed Advisory Board Plans to Navigate Global Challenges
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has assembled a Board of Peace, drawing together several invited leaders to determine how the organization will operate and what role it will play in international diplomacy. According to sources close to the initiative, the board is designed to advise on global conflict resolution, peace-building strategies, and policy recommendations, though the specifics of its function are still being finalized.
The announcement comes amid renewed global tensions and ongoing debates over U.S. involvement in international peacekeeping efforts. Trump and his team are positioning the board as a high-profile advisory body with the potential to influence both domestic and international policy discussions.
The Concept Behind the Board of Peace
Trump’s Board of Peace is envisioned as a non-governmental advisory panel composed of political leaders, diplomats, and influential figures from various sectors. The goal is to develop strategic solutions to conflicts and offer guidance on how the U.S. and its allies can promote peace worldwide.
Key objectives reportedly include:
Policy Recommendations: Providing advice on diplomatic initiatives, ceasefires, and conflict resolution.
Expert Collaboration: Bringing together experts in foreign policy, international relations, and humanitarian aid.
Public Engagement: Informing the public about peace-building strategies through statements, reports, or events.
While the exact structure of the board remains under discussion, the initiative is being framed as a high-profile effort to influence global diplomacy outside traditional governmental channels.
Who Is Involved?
According to insiders, several invited leaders from both political and non-political backgrounds are participating in early meetings. While full names have not been publicly disclosed, the composition is said to include:
Former diplomats and ambassadors with experience in conflict zones.
Business leaders and philanthropists with interest in international development and humanitarian aid.
Political figures from U.S. and allied nations who have previously engaged in peace negotiations.
Trump has reportedly emphasized that the board’s membership is diverse and strategic, aiming to bring together a mix of experience, influence, and practical expertise to address pressing global issues.
Challenges Ahead
Despite its ambitious goals, the Board of Peace faces several challenges:
Defining Its Role: Observers note that the board must clarify its mandate, including whether it will serve as a policy advisor, advocacy group, or public outreach organization.
Political Scrutiny: Given Trump’s polarizing profile, the board’s initiatives may face skepticism or political pushback, both domestically and internationally.
Global Engagement: Convincing other nations to take the board’s recommendations seriously will require strategic diplomacy and credibility-building.
Operational Logistics: Establishing an effective organizational structure, meeting schedules, and decision-making processes is crucial for long-term effectiveness.
Experts caution that while advisory boards can influence policy, success often depends on clarity of mission, expert participation, and the ability to navigate political complexities.
Potential Impact on International Relations
If successful, Trump’s Board of Peace could have several implications for global diplomacy:
Conflict Resolution: The board may offer insights into ongoing conflicts, potentially influencing U.S. foreign policy decisions.
Strategic Partnerships: By involving leaders from allied countries, the board could strengthen diplomatic ties and foster collaboration on peace initiatives.
Public Diplomacy: Through reports, press releases, and public statements, the board might shape public perception of peace-building efforts and U.S. involvement abroad.
Analysts suggest that the board’s real-world impact will largely depend on how seriously policymakers and foreign governments take its recommendations.
Trump’s Vision and Goals
Trump has publicly stated that the Board of Peace is intended to leverage experience, influence, and strategic thinking to reduce conflicts and promote stability. According to statements from his team:
The board will focus on practical solutions rather than ideological debates.
Its members will be expected to collaborate across political and geographic boundaries.
The initiative seeks to showcase Trump’s continued engagement in international affairs even after leaving office.
While critics question whether the board will have tangible influence, supporters argue that its advisory capacity and high-profile membership could make it a notable player in peace discussions.
How It Might Operate
Though details are still being finalized, the Board of Peace may function in several ways:
Regular Meetings: Members could convene periodically to discuss conflicts, share insights, and draft recommendations.
Research and Analysis: The board may conduct studies, review reports, and provide expert opinions on international crises.
Public Statements: To influence broader discourse, the board might issue recommendations or public commentary on key diplomatic issues.
Advisory Reports to Leadership: While informal, the board could present advisory reports to U.S. political figures or allied governments.
The ultimate structure will likely depend on input from members and strategic considerations about how to balance influence, credibility, and political neutrality.
Criticism and Skepticism
Not everyone is convinced of the board’s effectiveness. Potential criticisms include:
Perceived Political Bias: Skeptics argue that any initiative led by Trump may reflect partisan interests rather than neutral peace-building objectives.
Lack of Enforcement Power: As an advisory body, the board cannot directly implement policies, limiting its practical impact.
Public Perception Risks: International audiences may question whether the board is a genuine effort to promote peace or a political platform.
Nonetheless, the initiative continues to gain attention, in part due to the high-profile nature of its members and the global significance of its stated goals.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect
Over the coming months, observers will be watching:
How the board finalizes its structure and mandate.
Which leaders officially join and their areas of expertise.
Initial recommendations or reports issued by the board.
Media coverage and international response, which will shape perceptions of its credibility.
If the Board of Peace establishes itself as a thoughtful and strategic advisory body, it could influence discussions on conflict resolution, diplomacy, and international cooperation.
Final Thoughts
Trump’s Board of Peace is an ambitious attempt to bring leaders together to address global conflicts and explore peace-building strategies. While questions remain about its structure, influence, and effectiveness, the initiative reflects a broader interest in innovative approaches to diplomacy outside traditional government channels.
Whether it becomes a respected advisory body or a symbolic effort, the board underscores the ongoing importance of collaboration, expertise, and strategic thinking in international peace efforts. For policymakers, citizens, and global leaders, its evolution will be closely watched in the coming months.

“After the End: One Man’s Journey to Rebuild Humanity”
The film begins with a man named Ash, who lives in the middle of a forest. He is a biologist and, due to his research, has been living far away from the city in the wilderness. One day, during his research, he is bitten by a venomous snake in the forest. He panics immediately, and at that moment his phone falls to the ground. Now he cannot call anyone for help. He tries to extract the venom himself and even cuts his own hand, but it has no effect. Even when he goes home and tries to cut his hand again, it is too late. The venom has already started spreading through his body, and he begins experiencing strange hallucinations. He remains in this state for several days. One day, some scientists arrive to take him away. He is somewhat conscious. He is alive, but his body has no strength. He musters the courage to try to call out to them, but no sound comes out. The scientists, assuming he is not there, leave. The scene cuts to a few days later. The cut on his hand has expelled most of the venom, and the small amount that had reached his brain is now healing. He only experiences mild hallucinations. Upon regaining consciousness, he immediately decides to go to a city hospital. He cleans his car and sets off toward the city. However, he notices something strange: there are no cars on the roads. When he reaches the city, there is no activity. He does not see a single living person. All the buildings are empty. Seeing this, he panics. A pandemic has broken out here. This pandemic is so deadly that it wipes out the entire population in just a few days. Being a biologist, Ash understands that because he had been isolated from the population for several days, the disease could not infect him, and he survived. Now the entire population has been wiped out — there is no government, no authority, and no owner of anything. Ash immediately thinks of his parents. Driving home, he sees that his parents have been dead for several days, and their bodies are in a terrible state of decay. Yet, he gathers courage and digs a grave outside his house to bury them. After that, he surveys the entire city, but there are no other survivors. Thinking this through, he decides to travel to another city and plans to go to Las Vegas. Taking some essential supplies and a gun, he sets off. However, the bridge to Las Vegas is sealed. He becomes very angry and chooses a longer route instead. When he finally reaches Las Vegas, everyone there has also died. Malls, large hotels, casinos — all are empty. Exhausted, he goes into a hotel. He spends the night there, enjoying expensive things because now everything is free for him. He does not expect to meet anyone else, but the next night he encounters two people. They, too, have survived the disease. The girl tells a sorrowful story, saying she watched her family die over a video call and now has no hope left to live. The man also wants to die, as living in such a lonely world seems impossible for him. That night, they stay with Ash, but by morning, he senses danger in their intentions. The man has a gun and wants to make the deaths of all three of them easy. But Ash wants to live, so he gets up and leaves. Behind him, he hears gunshots — the two have committed suicide. This event breaks Ash even more. Now, he realizes that he is completely alone in the world. Driving at high speed, he returns home. On the way, a dog crosses in front of his car. The dog is also completely alone, just like Ash. He takes the dog with him, finding a new reason to live. Ash begins a new life. He starts reading survival books. There is no shortage of food or drink, and there is no need to earn money anymore. He works every day and roams the town, hoping to find another survivor, but each day he returns disappointed. One day, while standing by a window drinking tea with his dog, it suddenly starts barking. He realizes that there is someone nearby. Smoke rises from a distant house, suggesting the presence of a human. He immediately takes his car and heads toward the house. Fortunately, there is a girl there. She is scared upon seeing Ash, but he reassures her that he means no harm and that he is also alone, searching for other survivors. Hearing this, the girl allows him into her house. Her name is Emma. Through their conversation, it becomes clear that nearly a year has passed since the pandemic, and neither Ash nor Emma has seen any other survivors in all that time. They are very happy to have found another human, as being alone has been extremely difficult, and they were on the verge of depression.

Britain Approves ‘Mega’ Chinese Embassy in London Despite National Security Fears
Big news from London: the UK government has just approved the construction of a massive new Chinese embassy right in the heart of the city — and it’s raising more than a few eyebrows. Despite concerns from security experts, lawmakers, and local residents, ministers have given the green light to what’s set to become Europe’s largest Chinese diplomatic mission. Let’s break down why this decision is so controversial — and what it could mean for Britain, China, and global diplomacy. A Long Road to Approval The saga began back in 2018 when China bought Royal Mint Court, a historic site near the Tower of London, for hundreds of millions of pounds. Plans for a sprawling 20,000 square metre embassy have been in limbo ever since, facing delays, legal challenges, and repeated scrutiny from the UK government. Originally, local officials rejected the plans, citing security risks and concerns from the surrounding community. But under the current government led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the central authorities ultimately signed off on the embassy in January 2026. This decision ends a seven-year planning saga, but it’s far from quiet: many are still worried about what this mega-embassy could mean for London and the UK’s national security. Security Fears Take Center Stage It’s not hard to see why people are concerned. The embassy is close to critical fibre-optic cables and major data infrastructure, which means it could theoretically be a hotspot for espionage. MI5 itself has acknowledged that it’s “not realistic to eliminate every potential risk” associated with the embassy. At the same time, government officials insist that intelligence services were fully consulted, and that security measures will help mitigate risks. They even argue that consolidating China’s diplomatic operations — currently scattered across seven separate sites — might actually make it easier to monitor activities rather than harder. Still, critics remain unconvinced. Political and Public Backlash Opposition has been loud and bipartisan. Figures like Kemi Badenoch and Priti Patel have called the approval a “security surrender” to Beijing. Protests have cropped up around Royal Mint Court, with locals citing not just espionage fears but also potential disruptions to their daily lives. Some residents are even raising funds for legal action to block the embassy’s construction, arguing that the development threatens community safety and could strain local police resources. Why the UK Is Moving Ahead So why did the government approve it despite all these red flags? Partly, it’s about diplomacy and economics. Britain wants to maintain open channels with China, which remains one of the world’s largest economic powers. Officials have hinted that this approval could pave the way for Starmer’s visit to China — the first by a UK prime minister since 2018 — unlocking potential trade and climate cooperation. Beijing, on the other hand, has criticized the delays as politically motivated and called the opposition to the embassy “malicious slander.” For China, the mega-embassy is a symbol of friendship and a statement of its global influence. Bigger Picture: Diplomacy vs. Security This decision highlights the delicate balancing act Britain faces today: protecting national security while engaging economically with powerful global players. The embassy, with its vast footprint and secretive basement spaces, could become a focal point for intelligence activities, not just in the UK, but across Europe. It also sparks a bigger debate: how should democracies manage the presence of foreign powers on their soil, especially when digital and geopolitical vulnerabilities are involved? And how much power should local planning authorities really have when national government priorities override community concerns? What Comes Next Construction is expected to begin soon, and China is set to consolidate its diplomatic operations in London. But the story isn’t over. Critics promise ongoing legal battles, and lawmakers are calling for more transparency and stricter security safeguards. As London prepares to host Europe’s largest Chinese embassy, the eyes of the UK — and indeed the world — will be on this project. How it unfolds could shape Sino-British relations for decades, and offer a glimpse into the broader dynamics of modern global diplomacy. Bottom line: The mega-embassy is more than just a building. It’s a symbol of the UK’s careful, sometimes uneasy, dance with China — balancing trade, diplomacy, and security in an increasingly complex world.
