Alternative Path: Can Trump's Peace Council replace the UN

The United States has invited Russia to participate in the new organization — the Kremlin is carefully studying the proposal.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani announced on January 24 that the country has no plans to join the "Peace Council." It was clarified that the country's constitution contains insurmountable restrictions on membership in the organization.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a day earlier that they could not accept the Peace Council's governance structure in Germany, even for constitutional reasons.

On January 20, Egypt accepted Trump's invitation to join the Peace Council organization. Azerbaijan, Argentina, Bahrain, Belarus, Hungary, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Israel, and Morocco have previously agreed to the initiative to join the council. After that, on January 21, the initiative of the US president was officially supported in a statement by the foreign ministers of eight Middle Eastern countries — Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Egypt.
