US President Donald Trump launched on Thursday (22), during the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland, the so-called ‘Peace Council’. More than 20 countries have already accepted the American’s invitation to be part of the group.

According to the Republican, the objective of the council will be to resolve global conflicts – it will initially focus on the Gaza Strip and should expand its operations to other regions of the world.

He also claimed to have invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the council, although the Kremlin has not yet confirmed whether it has accepted the invitation. Putin said his country was still consulting with Moscow’s “strategic partners” before deciding to commit.

On Tuesday (20), Trump said that President Lula, who was also invited to the council, could have a “big role” in the entity. At the time, the Brazilian government confirmed the invitation, but said that Lula prefers to evaluate the geopolitical conditions involving the entity’s role before making a decision.

The US president even invited Canada to join the council, but canceled the invitation. The two countries have been exchanging barbs since the Republican’s election after Trump imposed tariffs on the neighboring country and indicated that he would like to annex it to American territory.
