Trumps' Middle East Peace Board Inaugural Meeting
Trump announced Thursday at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting that nine members of the body have agreed to pledge $7 billion toward a Gaza relief package and that five countries have agreed to deploy troops to take part in an international stabilization force to the war-battered Palestinian territory.
Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait are the countries that are making pledges, Trump said.
In reality, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Morocco, Uzbekistan and Bahrain have no money pledged because they're looking for handouts.
Trump also said the US is pledging $10B but no indication where that's coming from.
He said Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania have pledged to send troops for Gaza stabilization force, while Egypt and Jordan have committed to train police for the efforts.
Palestinians were not invited to this meeting. Trump's son-in-law was there. His side hustle is the Gaza luxury condos.
Some Of The Weirder Moments From the meeting
- Trump appeared to fall asleep mid-meeting.
- “Does everybody like the music? It’s good music.”
- Trump made it clear he’s still super-duper sad about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
- A dignitary from Kazakhstan proposed the group should create a “special Donald Trump award” in honor of “his special peace-building efforts and achievements.”
- Trump appeared to forget the names of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan while talking about them both.
- Trump praised the looks of the Paraguayan president while mispronouncing his name and then backpedaled, apparently fearing people might think he was attracted to men:
“President Pena of Paraguay is here,” Trump said, mispronouncing Peña. “President?” he asked, looking around the room to find Peña. “President, thank you very much.”
“Young, handsome guy. It’s always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn’t mean we have to like you. I don’t like young, handsome men. Women I like. Men... no, I don’t have any interest.”
