Alison Sargent welcomes Christopher Featherstone, Associate Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York. Mr. Featherstone frames the “Board of Peace” not as a clearly defined peace initiative, rather as a “Trump Show” spectacle. Lacking a long-term vision, it’s a platform for Trump to maintain global relevance, under the guise of diplomacy. He calls particular attention to the performative, business-focused nature of the initiative, raising questions about its legitimacy and longevity beyond Trump’s tenure.
