Davos: US President Donald Trump signed the founding charter for the Board of Peace during the World Economic Forum in Davos, joined on stage by leaders, foreign ministers and other top officials representing 19 other countries.

The US President said: "Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do," adding that the initiative would "work with many others, including the United Nations."

"I've always said the United Nations has got tremendous potential, has not used it," Trump said.

He added that the board was going to be "very successful in Gaza" and "we can spread out to other things as we succeed with Gaza."

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the board's priority was making sure the ceasefire in Gaza endures, but the possibilities for the organisation were "endless."

The idea of the Board of Peace was conceived primarily to oversee the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, but its charter stipulates much broader tasks that include seeking to resolve other conflicts in different parts of the world.
