Trump announced the signing of the charter of the "Peace Council" by many absent leaders

The charter of the Peace Council was signed by many world leaders who did not participate in the signing ceremony in Davos, Switzerland. This was announced on January 22 by US President Donald Trump.

"It is a great honor for me to participate in this ceremony and communicate with the wonderful people gathered in the hall, the great leaders sitting on this stage. There are also many other people who have signed [the organization's charter]. They all wanted to become members of the Peace Council because it's really important," Trump said.

According to him, many countries have already joined the initiative and this interest continues to grow. Trump stressed that the Peace Council would not be useless, as its future work was practical.

"It won't be a waste of time. We spent too much time on things that never happened. Everything will happen here, and it is already happening," the American leader said during the ceremony.

Why does the United States still want to get a "piece of ice"?

Russian President Vladimir Putin, at talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas earlier on January 22, said that Moscow could use frozen Russian assets to contribute to the Peace Council. Russia is ready to send $1 billion to a new structure to rebuild the Gaza Strip and solve the problems of Palestine, he added.

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.
