Trump's 'Peace Council' in Jeopardy - Skepticism from Erdogan and Putin

President Donald Trump's plan to create a 'Board of Peace' appears to be facing significant obstacles and risks premature collapse. Following the leak of the list of invited leaders, including Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin, growing skepticism is being observed from international actors such as France and the European Union. France is reportedly rejecting the invitation, expressing concerns about the compatibility of the new body with the principles and structure of the United Nations. Furthermore, fears are being raised that the 'Board of Peace' will operate as a 'one-man show' without adequate institutional guarantees, leading other countries to reconsider their participation.
