Trump Eyes Former USIP HQ for New 'Board of Peace' Amid Gaza Ceasefire Efforts
- •The Trump administration is considering the former US Institute of Peace (USIP) headquarters in Washington as the base for a new 'Board of Peace'.
- •This new board is linked to the Gaza ceasefire initiative and broader international conflict resolution ambitions.
- •The USIP building was controversially seized last year, renamed 'Donald J. Trump US Institute of Peace', and is currently subject to ongoing litigation regarding its legal status.
- •A federal judge previously ruled the takeover illegal, but enforcement is on hold pending a government appeal.
- •The 'Board of Peace', unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, has 27 founding members and aims to resolve global conflicts, though some allies suspect it may rival the UN Security Council.
Why It Matters: Trump plans to house his new 'Board of Peace', focused on global conflict resolution, in the disputed former USIP building.
