Trump’s plans tomorrow

On Thursday, Trump plans to hold an event to discuss the “Board of Peace,” a new body which aims to oversee the end of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, and possibly take on a broader mandate, rivaling the United Nations (UN), news agency AP reported.

Fewer than 10 leaders have accepted invitations to join the group so far, with the latest additions being Azerbaijan and Israel.

A day earlier, Trump told reporters that his peace board “might” eventually make the UN obsolete but insisted he wants to see the international body stick around. “I believe you got to let the U.N. continue, because the potential is so great,” AP quoted Trump as saying.

What is the WEF Summit?

It has become a forum for various stakeholders to meet and discuss global and regional socio-economic issues every year. The programme is centred on five key global challenges: cooperation in a contested world, unlocking new sources of growth, investing in people, deploying innovation responsibly and building prosperity within planetary boundaries, the official website of the WEF states.

The theme of the 2026 meeting is ‘A Spirit of Dialogue’. Describing the theme, the website states, “In a world defined by geopolitical, economic and societal shifts, A Spirit of Dialogue means broadening our perspectives, listening to one another and challenging our views. It is through this approach that leaders can rebuild trust and work towards a better future.”
