January 20, 2026 • Google News World
US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to have a seat on the proposed “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. French President Emmanuel Macron has declined to participate.
Trump has also threatened to impose a 200% tariff on French wines if Macron does not join the board. China has confirmed its invitation for Trump’s participation in the Gaza-based peace initiative, but has not indicated whether it will attend itself.
Canada’s Finance Minister Chrystia Carney has outlined a precondition for Canada’s involvement in the “Board of Peace”, which includes the need for a clear and defined mandate.
The proposed board is seen as an effort to promote peace and stability in various regions around the world. However, its scope and purpose have been subject to debate among Trump’s allies.
Macron had initially expressed interest in participating in the initiative but has since declined. The French president’s decision has sparked concerns about the potential impact on France-US relations.
The “Board of Peace” is set to be discussed at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Trump and other world leaders will gather to address global issues.
