This initiative aims to bring together world leaders and power brokers to resolve global conflicts, extending Trump's commitment to peacemaking beyond his presidency. Huckabee emphasized Trump's unwillingness to retire quietly, suggesting that the Board of Peace could become a long-term personal project. Trump has already named himself chairman of the board and expressed a desire for it to be headquartered in Washington. The initiative reflects Trump's unconventional approach to diplomacy, which Huckabee credits with de-escalating multiple international conflicts.
