US EditionTrump Eyes Basing His New Board of Peace at a Washington Building in Legal Limbo
- The Trump administration is considering the Washington building that formerly housed the U.S. Institute of Peace for the Board of Peace, which President Donald Trump unveiled last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
- After the seizure last year, former employees and executives sued, and a federal judge ruled against the Republican administration's takeover, leaving the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace in legal limbo with enforcement paused after appeal.
- Images overlaid with the Board's logo prompted rumors the building would be used, and allied countries in Europe and elsewhere declined to join, suspecting it may rival the U.N. Security Council.
- Officials who spoke Thursday said the board’s administrative staff location remains undecided, while George Foote, counsel for former USIP leadership and staff, argued `a stay is not permission for the loser of a case to hijack the property of the winning party.`
- The board's 27 founding members will initially oversee the Gaza ceasefire, while the board’s charter indicates it aims to address other global conflicts beyond the ceasefire.

Trump eyes basing his new Board of Peace at a Washington building in legal limbo
The Trump administration is looking at basing the new Board of Peace in the Washington building that formerly housed the U.S. Institute of Peace.
The recent creation (in the context of the Davos meetings) of the Peace Council (Board of Peace), made up of 19 countries that enthroned Donald Trump as their lifetime leader, and whose role would be to apply to various armed conflicts a formula similar to that used by Washington's peace plan to legitimize the devastation of Gaza, has provoked (in the opinion of experts) a mixture of spinning, azoro and a frank and new fear.
