which countries signed board of peace

The “Board of Peace” is a new Trump-era diplomatic initiative, and the list of participating countries is still evolving, but there is a clear core group that has already signed on or publicly confirmed membership.

Core countries that have signed

Multiple news and forum sources converge on roughly the same group of states that have formally signed up so far.

The countries most consistently reported as having joined are:

  • Argentina
  • Armenia
  • Azerbaijan
  • Bahrain
  • Belgium
  • Bulgaria
  • Egypt
  • Hungary
  • Indonesia
  • Jordan
  • Kazakhstan
  • Kosovo
  • Mongolia
  • Morocco
  • Pakistan
  • Paraguay
  • Qatar
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Turkey
  • United Arab Emirates (UAE)
  • Uzbekistan

These names appear in both mainstream political reporting about Trump’s Board of Peace and in up‑to‑date forum summaries of who has actually signed among about sixty invited states.

“Joined”, “accepted” and “invited” (why lists differ)

Reports also mention a larger circle of countries that have “accepted the invitation” or “expressed intention to join” but are not always clearly distinguished from those that have already signed a formal instrument.

  • One detailed report says “over 20 nations have expressed their intention to join,” listing largely the same set as above, and notes that it is unclear how many have committed financially to permanent membership.
  • Another piece says “around 35 world leaders have accepted Trump’s invitation,” including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, and others, but does not provide a definitive, vetted list of signatories.

Because of this, different sources may quote slightly different totals depending on whether they count:

  • those that signed at Davos,
  • those that accepted in principle, or
  • those merely invited and still negotiating.

Who has not joined (yet)

Some notable U.S. allies and major powers have either declined or not committed, which is a big part of the current political debate around the Board of Peace.

  • Reported decliners or skeptics include: Norway, Sweden, and France; Italy has raised constitutional questions.
  • Not yet committed as of the latest coverage: the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Russia, and China, with Moscow and Beijing particularly wary of anything that weakens the UN Security Council’s role.

This explains why many European allies were absent from the signing event, which commentators described as relatively small compared with the original ambition of the project.

Quick forum-style summary

So far, the countries most widely reported as having actually signed up for Trump’s “Board of Peace” are a mixed group from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Latin America: Bahrain, Morocco, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE, and Uzbekistan.

More may join, some have only accepted “in principle,” and big players like the UK, Germany, Russia, China, and Japan are still on the fence or openly skeptical, which is why the membership list is still in flux in early 2026.
