The “Board of Peace” is a very new and still‑evolving initiative, so there is not yet a single, universally fixed list that all outlets agree on, but several overlapping lists of countries that have publicly said they will join.

Core answer

From the most recent public reporting, the countries that have either signed up or clearly stated they will join Trump’s “Board of Peace” include (grouped by how often they are confirmed across major news and factbox sources):

  • Very consistently reported as “in”
    • Argentina
    • Armenia
    • Azerbaijan
    • Bahrain
    • Belarus
    • Egypt
    • Hungary
    • Indonesia
    • Jordan
    • Kazakhstan
    • Kosovo
    • Morocco
    • Pakistan
    • Paraguay
    • Qatar
    • Saudi Arabia
    • Türkiye (Turkey)
    • United Arab Emirates (UAE)
    • Uzbekistan
    • Vietnam
    • Albania
    • Bulgaria
    • Mongolia These names appear repeatedly in major news explainers (NBC, BBC), factbox summaries, and wire-style lists, sometimes framed as “have signed up” or “have agreed to join.”
  • Also reported as having accepted / joined in at least one detailed list
    • Bahrain (sometimes listed separately as a Gulf example)
    • Paraguay
    • Qatar
    • Saudi Arabia
    • UAE
    • Morocco
    • Kazakhstan
    • Vietnam
    • Uzbekistan
    • Mongolia
    • Bulgaria
    • Albania Several of these appear in more than one outlet, but not every article carries the full list, which explains small differences between “19 countries”, “over 20”, and “around 35” in different pieces.

In short, the Board of Peace is currently dominated by:

  • Middle Eastern and Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, Türkiye).
  • Post‑Soviet / Eurasian states (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan).
  • Selected countries from other regions (Argentina, Paraguay, Albania, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Kosovo).

Who is not in (so far)

Several traditional U.S. allies in Europe have declined or stayed out for now, often citing legal or institutional concerns about how the board would operate:

  • Reported as having declined or distancing themselves:
    • France
    • Germany
    • Ireland
    • Italy
    • Norway
    • Slovenia
    • Spain
    • Sweden
    • United Kingdom
  • Reported as invited but not (yet) clearly joining:
    • Canada (in some reports, its invitation was later withdrawn)
    • Russia
    • China
    • A wider group including Romania, Finland, Greece, Cyprus, Japan, Austria, Australia, the Netherlands, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, and others.

Why the lists differ

Different outlets describe slightly different numbers (“fewer than 20 countries” at the Davos signing versus “over 20” or even “around 35 interested countries” later), because:

  • Some countries only sent representatives to an initial ceremony.
  • Others have “accepted in principle” but not yet signed a full funding or membership commitment.
  • Media pieces were written on different days as more countries signaled their positions.

So if you see one article listing 19 countries and another listing more than 20, they are usually capturing different stages of the same evolving story rather than describing separate organizations.

For the very latest official roster, the safest approach is to check the most recent factbox or explainer from a major international outlet, since the membership count is still changing day by day.
