Belarus’ Alexander Lukashenko Says Nation Is Joining Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’

Topline

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled his nation since 1994 and is frequently criticized as a dictator, said Tuesday he signed an invitation from President Donald Trump to join his “Board of Peace” for Gaza governance, joining other nations like Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates in the initiative already rebuked by France’s leadership.

Key Facts

The “Board of Peace” was initially introduced as a part of the Trump administration’s Gaza peace deal, but the invitation sent to world leaders broadened the initiative’s scope to include other conflicts.

A handful of other countries have already accepted invitations to join the board, including Hungary and Vietnam, while the UAE, an influential state in the Middle East, also announced plans to join on Monday.

Lukashenko is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose government also said it received an invitation to join the board.

In a post on Telegram, Lukashenko said he hoped to “bring peace closer” in Ukraine and “influence the Ukrainian leadership.”

Trump previously praised Lukashenko as a “highly respected President” after his administration released prisoners earlier this year—and more political prisoners were released in December after the U.S. eased sanctions, including opposition leaders jailed during massive protests in 2020.

Will Other Countries Join The Board?

Several countries have expressed skepticism around joining the new initiative. The French Foreign Ministry said it “does not intend to answer favorably” to joining the board, French newspaper Le Monde reported on Monday. This prompted Trump to threaten French President Emmanuel Macron with steep tariffs on French goods. “Well, nobody wants him because he will be out of office very soon,” Trump told reporters on Monday night. “I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join, but he doesn’t have to join,” he added. The board will reportedly require member states to contribute $1 billion to remain a permanent member of the board after three years, Bloomberg first reported last week, and at least one country has taken issue with this fee. Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that there were still “a lot of details to be worked out,” Canadian media reported, but also said his country would not pay the reported $1 billion fee to join the board.

Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23

Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23

The post Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SAB adopts Chainlink’s CCIP and CRE to expand tokenization and cross-border finance tools. SAB and Wamid target $2.32T Saudi capital markets with blockchain-based tokenization plans. LINK price falls 2.43% to $22.99 despite higher trading volume and steady liquidity ratios. Saudi Awwal Bank has added Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to its digital strategy. CCIP links assets and data across multiple blockchains, while CRE provides banks with a controlled framework to test and deploy new financial applications. The lender, with more than $100 billion in assets, is applying the tools to tokenized assets, cross-border settlement, and automated credit platforms. The move signals that Chainlink’s infrastructure is being adopted at scale inside regulated finance.

The focus is on equities and debt products, opening the door for blockchain-based issuance and settlement. SAB has already executed the world’s first Islamic repo on distributed ledger technology, in collaboration with Oumla earlier this year. That transaction gave regulators a template for compliant on-chain contracts. The Wamid deal builds directly on that precedent, shifting from single-instrument pilots toward broader capital markets integration. Saudi Blockchain Buildout Gains Pace Saudi institutions are building multiple layers of digital infrastructure. Oumla is working with Avalanche to develop the Kingdom’s first domestically hosted Layer 1 blockchain. SAB’s Chainlink adoption adds an interoperability and execution layer on top. Together, these projects are shaping a domestic framework for tokenization, with global connectivity added only where liquidity requires it.
