U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin received an invitation to join his new Board of Peace that will supervise the next phase of the Gaza peace plan.

Trump confirmed Putin's invitation while speaking to reporters at the College Football National Championship Game in Florida, where Indiana defeated Miami.

The Kremlin said earlier on Monday that Putin had received the invitation, adding that it is now "studying the details" and will seek clarity of "all the nuances" in communications with the U.S. government.

France has also received an invitation but does not plan to join the Board of Peace "at this stage," a French official close to President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.

Asked at the championship game about Macron being unlikely to join, Trump took jabs at his French counterpart and threatened tariffs for refusing to accept the invitation.

"Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon," Trump said of Macron.

Much rather have Russia as an “allie” than England or France.

Much rather have Russia align with the USA than China.

Russia has valuable resources to trade. Europe has faggotry, Marxism and Islam... then jails anyone who onjects.

We should withdraw from NATO and rip Europe off America’s tit. All Russia wanted from us since the breakup of the Soviet Union was our respect, friendship, and to keep our word.

We should try it for once.

“We should withdraw from NATO and rip Europe off America’s tit.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What you said is beyond foolish.

Nato is a multi-billion dollar business model tailored for America.
NATO fuels money to America since many, many decades.

If the US leaves NATO, Europe would immediately cancel the 100’s of F-35 fighter jet orders, and ALL US equipment.

France has recently become the world’s number two weapon’s exporter taking that number two position from Russia! Europe has all it needs to produce its own gear. The thing is... America has spent years preventing Europe to produce its own military equipment...

The good news for Europe is America’s recent change of attitude. Europe can once again become a military powerhouse that way! With EU tech.
It will be VERY costly for America though. Great loss of revenues.
The military Industrial Complex in Europe is already celebrating! And even China apparently... they will probably try to export their tech now to replace America’s tech. But Europe will not accept that. EU quality is much better.

Way to make the Board of Peace a laughingstock

Very good idea. Bring Putin into the global community in a good way. He may react positively.

Might makes right. Putin has some might so he belongs. Not sure if Germany belongs. Someone from the EU belongs. Japan belongs. Someone from the EU belongs. Not sure who you would get otherwise. But if they are not strong then they don’t belong.

I think Trump is a megalomaniac. He’s lost it mentally. Having inviting Putin proves he is not in control of his faculties..

So why is the Gauleiter leader of Belarus, Lukashenko, also getting an invite?

His only qualifications are, Putin likes the bootlicking scrote.
