trump board of peace institute building washington.

The Trump administration is looking at basing the new Board of Peace in the Washington building that formerly housed the U.S. Institute of Peace. That word comes from four administration officials. The Board of Peace’s initial task is to oversee President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan, but he seems to have broader ambitions for the initiative. The U.S. Institute of Peace is an independent nongovernmental organization established by Congress. The administration seized the building last year and fired almost all the institute’s staff. The building has since been renamed the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace, but its name and status are in legal limbo.
