Country Calls BS on Being Part of Trump’s Peace Grift

Belgium has denied that it signed up to be part of Donald Trump’s controversial “peacekeeping” board in a blow to the U.S. president.

Trump’s “Board of Peace,” which offers permanent membership for a $1 billion dollar fee, has the stated goals of “promoting stability” and restoring “lawful governance” in conflict zones, initially focusing on reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.

European partners have expressed skepticism about the initiative after Trump invited Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin, who’s engaged in a bloody war against Western ally Ukraine, and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close Putin ally and key enabler of that conflict.
