Trump must be stunned! He never expected that the countries joining the "Peace Committee" would be so calculating! On January 27th, according to foreign media reports, although about twenty or more signatory countries, including Egypt, Belarus, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Kazakhstan, announced their participation in the "Peace Committee," up to now, none of them have expressed willingness to pay $1 billion. The only one who implied possible willingness to pay is Russian President Putin, on the condition that the United States allows him to use the frozen Russian funds.
Foreign media stated that most countries chose to quietly observe, while American allies kept away. Foreign media said that Trump's "Peace Committee" seems too absurd. According to the charter, the "Chairman" has the right to invite other countries to join the committee, the right to veto resolutions, the right to dissolve the committee, and the right to "pass resolutions or other instructions," even the right to approve official seals. Moreover, more astonishingly, this chairman was not the current US president, but Trump himself, and the charter does not require him to resign from his chairmanship after leaving the presidency.
Therefore, foreign media believe that the committee immediately faced a difficult situation upon its establishment. It is obvious that the judgment of the foreign media is very reasonable. To put it bluntly, because currently Trump is the US president, some countries avoid openly offending the United States, so they respond actively. These countries are clear-minded, Trump's term is still three years, and the free membership is also for three years, after which what the committee looks like, no one knows. This is just to cope with Trump.
Trump himself announced as the chairman of the committee, without term limits, with various privileges, in a sense, Trump is the "king" of this "committee," which is not an exaggeration. Now the "committee" has no funding injection, no specific operating methods, whether it can really take off is a big question, in short, it's just an empty shell. Trump's carefully planned "peace chess game" has become a solo performance that no one is willing to pay for at the beginning. These participating countries may know better than anyone else, just to join in for the sake of showing support without offending the US. Allies do even worse, they don't want to spend money, nor do they want to be tied up by this bizarre institution. Now, the person who is probably the most embarrassed is Trump himself.
