Trump Invites India to Join New 'Board of Peace' for Gaza

NEW DELHI – US President Donald Trump has invited India to join his “Board of Peace” initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts, according to a White House statement on Sunday, shared in a post on X by Washington’s ambassador to New Delhi, Sergio Gor. It was not clear whether India would join the initiative, which will initially focus on Gaza. India’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The invitation to India comes as ties between New Delhi and Washington are under strain due to the failure to secure a trade deal that would lower tariffs on India’s exports to the US that are facing a levy of 50% currently, among the highest in the world.
