US President Donald Trump unveiled his "Board of Peace" by listing several countries that the United States has bombed during his presidency, sparking widespread criticism.
During a speech ahead of the signing of the Board of Peace initiative, which aims to promote peace and stability worldwide, Trump revealed the US airstrikes in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria, Libya, Somalia, Mali, Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, Chad and South Sudan. The list appears to include all countries that have been targeted by US military operations under his leadership.
Critics have accused Trump's "Board of Peace" as a joke, pointing out the irony of the name given the extensive record of US bombing campaigns around the world during his presidency. They argue that such actions only fuel more violence and instability in regions already plagued by conflict.
"This is an insult to everyone who has lost loved ones or homes due to US aggression," said a spokesperson for anti-war groups, condemning Trump's "Board of Peace" as a thinly veiled attempt to whitewash his administration's military record.
