⭕️ Trump’s Board of Peace has received zero dollars in its World Bank fund four months after launch — FT
▪️The financial fund set up by the World Bank for Trump’s Board of Peace has received no money from donors four months after its establishment, the Financial Times reported, citing four people familiar with the matter.
▪️Instead, donations have been routed through a JPMorgan account with no independent transparency requirements.
▪️ Morocco’s ~$20 million has funded the office of Nickolay Mladenov, the board’s ‘high representative’ for postwar Gaza, and salaries for a Palestinian technocratic committee. The UAE provided $100 million to train a Gaza police force, but the program has yet to start and the funds are frozen.
▪️ Member states had pledged $7 billion for the board’s Gaza relief package and Trump promised a further $10 billion in U.S. funding.
▪️”Not one US dollar has been deployed for the rebuilding of Gaza,” two people familiar with postwar planning told the FT. No reconstruction contracts have been awarded.

I’m old enough to remember when @ScottforFlorida turned down billions in federal funds for high speed rail because he refused to work with Obama.
As a business owner, I know what it costs to let ego get in the way of a good deal.
Florida is still paying that price.
Jimmy Carter was the 39th U.S. President - and never ordered a single aerial bombing campaign against a foreign country. Every modern president before and after him did. Carter chose diplomacy where others chose firepower. His defining moment came at Camp David in 1978 - locking Egyptian and Israeli leaders in 13 days of brutal negotiation, emerging with a peace agreement that ended 30 years of war. His presidency faced the Iran hostage crisis, oil shocks and economic turmoil - crises that would have given any leader justification for military escalation. He held the line anyway. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died in 2024 at 100 years old. The man who never bombed anyone outlived almost every critic who called him weak.
