US President Trump’s proposal to create a new “Peace Council” has caused consternation and caution among EU leaders. They are struggling to understand the plan’s purpose and potential implications.
The initiative, which aims to manage conflicts like the one in Gaza after the ceasefire and, under Trump’s leadership, potentially resolve global disputes, has received mixed reactions.
Several EU governments, including France, Germany, and Italy, have expressed reservations or refused to join the initiative. They are concerned that the council could weaken the UN’s role and the existing international peacekeeping structures.
Hungary has already accepted the invitation, while others continue to weigh their responses carefully.
