Today in Davos, the U.S. President launched a new initiative called the Board of Peace. Hungary is listed among the founding countries, as the nation needs peace in order to continue developing, Prime Minister Orbán Viktor wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday.
War threatens progress and stability
Orbán emphasised: “War endangers everything we have built over the past decade and a half. It brings inflation, sanctions, high energy prices, and the decline of national economies.”
Hungary chooses progress over retreat
“However, Hungary wants to move forward, not backwards. That is why we support and strengthen through our participation every international initiative that prevents and curbs wars, guaranteeing the security and peace of nations and families. This is what we are working on today in Davos and this evening in Brussels,” Orbán wrote.
Trump formally rolls out his Board of Peace
US President Donald Trump formally rolled out his Board of Peace on Thursday, saying the group, on which he is serving as chairman, will work in partnership with the UN to address crises far beyond the Gaza Strip.
“We’re committed to ensuring Gaza is demilitarised, properly governed and beautifully rebuilt. It’s going to be a great plan, and that’s where the Board of Peace really started. And I think we can spread out to other things as we succeed with Gaza,” Trump said as he hosted nearly two dozen world leaders on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum for a signing ceremony.
“It’s going to be a great thing to watch. And we can do other things. We can do numerous other things. Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do, and we’ll do it in conjunction with the United Nations,” he added.
Before this happened:
Representatives from multiple nations signed the organisation’s founding documents. Details on the board’s mandate, as well as its charter, were not immediately available.
Questions have long lingered about the scope of the board’s mandate, but Trump’s comments appear to confirm that it will be involved in global affairs far beyond Gaza as he continued to criticise what he said is the UN’s failure to use its “tremendous potential.”
“There is tremendous potential with the United Nations. And I think the combination of the Board of Peace with the kind of people we have up here, coupled with the United Nations, can be something very, very unique for the world,” he said.

Waiting for wanted war criminal and best friend Putin to join Orban on Trump’s “Board Of Peace” to give it added “legitimacy”. The UK and France won’t have anything to do with it until at minimum it is confirmed that Russia won’t be accepting Trump’s invitation to join it. UK Foreign Secretary Cooper ” We do … have concerns about President Putin being part of something which is talking about peace when we have still not seen any signs from Putin that there will be a commitment to peace in Ukraine.”
The UK and France are US satelites. Slaves doing whatever their master orders them to.
They stay away, because they are not allowed to participate, like “free men”. A slave’s place is in the doghouse, not with “proper people”. So that’s where all European states are, except Hungary.
‘The UK and France are US satelites. Slaves doing whatever their master orders them to.’
Yes, Dear Márk, but, never forget that we, The disUnited States of America, are not ourselves masters.
No, Sir – we are not a sovereign nation, but, rather, a nation owned by, and run for the benefit of, a Transnational banks and corporations.
Nobody in The West, nowadays, is free, and so it will remain until someone address this issue.
@Mouton. Fast and loose with facts, for a change?
The UK and France are both are sovereign states with their own elected governments, independent militaries and even nuclear deterrents. They have long pursued policies that diverge from the US interests. There is closely cooperation, through NATO and international bodies because of shared interests and security incentives. There is no control mechanism. Hence the current mob-boss behavior of Mr. Trump.
Your second point regarding the outsized influence of money in Western politics. Yes, there is lobbying, campaign finance, revolving doors, etc. That does not mean any country is beholden to the wealthy and connected. Citizens have agency. They can vote, there are independent courts, there is media scrutiny. Policy changes are still driven by voters.
Democracy for you – imperfect, but no better system.
Last but not least – I am not a multi-millionaire or ultra-connected, however I still get involved and try to contribute to the best of my ability. Listen, learn, act. Hence, I also bother to go to Davos for the World Economic Forum. Not limit myself to posting and being a keyboard warrior. You should try it, sometime?
I apologize for being remiss to mention that the other wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu was also invited to fascist dictator Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” but Canada to its’ credit has been disinvited. There are only two EU countries which have joined: Hungary and Bulgaria. It is mostly a collection of autocratic states just ideal for the leader of Orbanistan.
To be a founding member you have to pay 1 billion dollar, so I guess Hungary paid and now is a founding member of “The Board of Sh!t”.
Nobody in The West is more deserving than Orbán Viktor, except for Vladimir Putin; he who, for 20 years in vain, tried to prevent a war in The Ukraine.
Hopefully the new board will be more effective than The United Nations – that organization long just a shell for Liberal-Globalist interests.
That’s simply evil disinformation to say the man wanted for war crimes who launched a war of aggression against Ukraine “tried to prevent a war in Ukraine”. Putin is the 21st century Hitler who is resposible now for the deaths of approximately 300,000 of his own people and the waste of hundreds of billions of dollars of money for war all for nothing after four years and counting. Orban is Putin’s Hungarian c-sucker.
Pathetic. That’s how to spend 1 billion$ – by the dictator of one of the poorest countries in Europe. Join this charade, see what happens. Aligning himself with a psychotic criminal like Trump will not end well for the fat king and his tribe.
Márk & Mouton, two names one idiotness!
