The three-year mandate shall not apply to member states that contribute more than $1 billion in liquid funds<\/strong> to the Peace Board within the first year of the entry into force of the Charter,” reads the draft, cited by the agency.\n\n\n

Preliminary Structure<\/h3>\n\n\nAccording to a draft of statutes for the proposed group, the U.S. president would be its inaugural president<\/strong> and would decide who would be invited to be members. Decisions would be made by majority vote, with one vote for each member state present, but all would be subject to the president’s approval.\n\nThe board would be chaired<\/a> by Trump and composed exclusively of heads of state or government, while a separate executive council would include political and business figures<\/strong>, including the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and the president of the World Bank, Ajay Banga.\n\nSeveral invited nations have expressed concern about the decisive weight<\/strong> that the design gives to the US president, who would retain broad powers to veto decisions and decide who sits at the table. Thus, it is estimated that the leader of the North American country would control the money<\/strong>, something that would be considered unacceptable for most of those who intend to join the organization, in addition to enjoying the power to remove a member<\/strong>, subject to the veto of a two-thirds majority of the member states.\n\nEuropean diplomats cited by Bloomberg and other media outlets warn that the economic threshold for entering the Peace Board and Trump’s prerogatives may turn the initiative into an instrument of US influence that de facto competes with the UN<\/strong>, rather than complementing existing multilateral structures.\n\n\n
