About this episode
There are plenty of questions swirling around US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. Trump has extended invitations to dozens of countries to join this outfit, including India. But many, including his European allies, are yet to confirm their participation. Interestingly, Norway, Denmark and Sweden have refused, while Pakistan and the UAE have already said ‘yes’.
Is this Board of Peace only about Gaza reconstruction? Or is this about setting up a parallel body to settle global conflict on American terms? Is Trump trying to create a new UN, as Brazilian President Lula has alleged? Most importantly, should India join this Board, or stay away?
