‘Only missing North Korea’: Belarus President has accepted Trump’s invitation to join the ‘Board of Peace’

Just yesterday, several sources, including news outlets, claimed that Donald Trump had sent out a formal invitation to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to become a part of his ambitious “Board of Peace” meant to “solidify Peace in the Middle East and, at the same time, to embark on a bold new approach to resolving Global Conflict!” Now it is being reported that Lukashenko has accepted Trump’s proposal, with videos of him signing documents as formality before joining the panel having emerged online, creating quite the stir among people.
For several days this week and the week before that, there has been significant gossip surrounding Trump’s “Board of Peace.” The chatter has primarily centred on the potential members of the committee and what their inclusion in it could mean at the world level. Some of the names that emerged in the last few days in relation to the body and have since been confirmed to have received a formal invitation from Trump include French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Argentinian President Javier Milei, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. While some of these world leaders are assessing the details of the proposal, a few have already accepted it. As mentioned previously, the latest person to join Trump’s endeavours in bringing peace to the world is Alexander Lukashenko.
That being said, the video of Alexander Lukashenko signing the agreement for becoming a part of Trump’s “Board of Peace”, which is currently gaining significant traction online, as per an article published by Reuters on January 20, 2026, was first released in a presidential Telegram channel, in which it was also allegedly revealed that he was hoping to contribute towards peace in Ukraine. This revelation has come as a surprise to many, as in Belarus and elsewhere, Lukashenko is largely identified as a dictator. Not only others, but even he has admitted to being an autocrat, notably, saying to Reuters in a rare interview back in 2012, as reported by Reuters, “I am the last and only dictator in Europe. Indeed, there are none anywhere else in the world.”
Lukashenko has managed to stay in the role of President for more than 30 years by exploiting his powers, which include, but are not limited to, manipulating the rules of the game, such as extending terms of presidencies or limiting them based on his convenience. With his decision to join Trump’s “Board of Peace”, it appears Lukashenko is looking towards achieving world domination or at least trying to be in Trump’s good books.
