Trump departs Switzerland after World Economic Forum participation

U.S. President Trump departed Switzerland on Thursday (January 22) after participating in the World Economic Forum.

Trump launched his 'Board of Peace' earlier on Thursday, designed to cement Gaza's rocky ceasefire.

Trump, who will chair the board, invited dozens of other world leaders to join, saying he wants it to address challenges beyond the stuttering Gaza ceasefire, stirring misgivings that it could undermine the U.N.'s role as the main platform for global diplomacy and conflict resolution.

Trump said permanent members must help fund with a payment of $1 billion each. Reuters could not immediately spot any representatives from governments of top global powers or from Israel or the Palestinian Authority at the signing ceremony.
