Former President Donald Trump's Peace Council, established in November 2025, has achieved limited success in its first six months, according to a review of its activities as of May 28, 2026. The council, composed of Trump allies and former diplomats, aimed to leverage Trump's negotiation style to resolve international conflicts.
Verified reports indicate the council facilitated three temporary ceasefires: one in a disputed region of eastern Ukraine (lasting 12 days in January 2026), another between rival factions in Libya (February 2026), and a third in the ongoing Yemen conflict (April 2026). However, none of these ceasefires led to lasting peace agreements.
Critics argue the council lacks official government backing and has struggled to engage key parties. Supporters point to the ceasefires as proof of concept, though no major diplomatic breakthroughs have been achieved. The council's next scheduled mediation is in Sudan, planned for June 2026.
