Story

Ceremony footage shows U.S. President Donald Trump stepping onto the stage alongside the founding members of the Board of Peace during a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday Jan 22, 2026. The video captures Trump standing with the board’s founding members as documents are presented and signed, marking a formal moment in the group’s launch or recognition. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has said the UK will not yet be signing up to US President Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace over concerns about Russian leader Vladimir Putin's possible participation. Donald Trump has claimed the world is “richer, safer and much more peaceful than it was just one year ago” as he hosted a launch event for his “board of peace” initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Hosting a signing ceremony for the new body, the US president repeated his claim to have stopped eight wars. “We put out all those fires. Most people didn’t know, including me, that some of those wars were going on,” he said. Ministers and heads of government from 19 countries filed on to the stage and took their seats before Trump took to the podium and called it “one of the most important meetings of all”. Countries represented by the 18 men and one woman – the president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani – included Morocco, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia. Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, was also present.
