Americast – Everything you need to know about Donald Trump’s Board of Peace
Available for more than a year
President Trump has described the Peace Board as “the most important international organization ever.” The Board, of which Donald Trump is the permanent president, will hold its opening meeting in Washington DC on Thursday, February 19. Sarah and Anthony team up to tell you everything you know ahead of the meeting: reveal exactly what the board is, what it does, who its members are, and most importantly: what Donald Trump wants to get out of it. Moreover, a handful of prominent Democrats attended the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, sending the message that Donald Trump will only be around for a few more years and that the United States will return as a strong partner with Europe. So did any of these stand out as potential candidates?
