Trump thinking 'steps ahead' with Board of Peace, foreign policy expert says

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Aaron MacLean analyzes President Trump's Board of Peace initiative, its implications for the Middle East and its relationship to the U.N.

President Donald Trump unveiled his Board of Peace on Thursday, with world leaders signing on to pursue a lasting agreement for Gaza.

Trump inaugurated the board during a speech and signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

"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," Trump said in a statement.

"This isn’t the United States, this is for the world," he added. "I think we can spread it out to other things as we succeed in Gaza."
