Will Trump鈥檚 Board of Peace actually stop wars?

How Trump's Board of Peace is positioning itself as an alternative to the UN.

In Davos on Thursday, Donald Trump officially launched his new Board of Peace. Initially created to oversee the Gaza peace plan, the body has since expanded in scope. Led by Trump himself, the board says it will address global crises and conflicts. The initiative has raised concerns among traditional allies, while several controversial leaders have been invited to take part.

We speak to 麻豆社 security correspondent Frank Gardner about whether it could even replace the United Nations.
