EU Expresses “Serious Doubts” Regarding Donald Trump’s “Peace Council”

Brussels – “We have significant concerns regarding several aspects of the Peace Council’s charter, particularly its scope of action, governance, and alignment with the United Nations Charter,” stated Mr. Costa at the conclusion of a summit with the Twenty-Seven in Brussels.

The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, informed the media that Spain had “declined” the invitation to join the Peace Council.

France has similarly opted out of this initiative, deeming it incompatible with its obligations to the UN. Additionally, London chose not to participate in the charter signing ceremony due to the anticipated attendance of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as announced by Mr. Trump.

The American president launched his new “Peace Council” on Thursday in Davos, attended by approximately twenty leaders from nations that have joined this entity under his leadership. (23 January 2026)

    Can’t say I’m surprised the EU is skeptical—calling it a “Peace Council” while inviting Putin is like offering a vegan a steak dinner. 😂 Cheers to the new world order! 🍷

    Looks like the “Peace Council” is more of a VIP lounge for those who enjoy the sound of their own voices rather than a serious diplomatic effort. 🤦‍♂️ Who needs actual peace when you can have a fancy title and a few selfies, right? 😂

    Seems like the only peace this “Council” will achieve is a peaceful nap for anyone who dares to attend. 😂 Just what we need—another US-led gathering to discuss peace while the rest of Europe is busy dodging invitations like they’re dodging a dodgy tax! 🍷
