      WARSAW, Feb 11 (Reuters) – Poland and Italy will not join U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, Warsaw and Rome said on Wednesday, adding to the list of Washington’s allies remaining on the sidelines.

      Initially designed to cement Gaza’s ceasefire, Trump sees the Board of Peace taking a wider role in resolving global conflicts which some countries fear means it could become a rival to the United Nations.

      This along with the fact that Russia and Belarus were invited to join means many Western countries have taken a cautious approach.

      „Taking into account certain national doubts regarding the shape of the board, under these circumstances Poland will not join the work of the Board of Peace, but we will analyse it,“ Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a government meeting.

      „Our relations with the United States have been and will remain our priority, so if the circumstances change that will enable joining the work of the Board, we do not rule out any scenario.“
      Tusk was due to meet nationalist rival President Karol Nawrocki later on Wednesday at a National Security Council meeting, where the Board of Peace was on the agenda.

      Meanwhile, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani also confirmed on Wednesday that Italy would not sign up.
      „We cannot join the Board of Peace because there is an insurmountable constitutional barrier on Italy’s side,“ he told Sky TG24 news channel.

      „However, if we need to work on reconstruction efforts aimed at ensuring peace in the Middle East, we are ready to do so,“ he added.

      Under Italy’s constitution, the country can only join international organisations on equal terms with other states — a condition that Rome says is not met by the board’s current statute which gives Trump extensive executive powers.

      Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is close to Trump, said last month she had asked him to amend the terms of the Board of Peace to enable Italy to join.

      Another hit in trumps policy and another failure for him. Wanted to dosomething special, only think he does is weaker position of the U.S even in NATO

      Trump had targeted Poland earlier already this time it might be Italy’s turn .

      Don’t call it the way Trump wants us to call it….

      It’s the board of peace… it’s the board of fascists!

      Waiting for some form of sour-grapes response akin to: „forgot we even invited you“ or „we were about to uninvite you, anyway.“

      Board of Despots, Dictators and Failed States. It’s like the UN but trash!

      I’m surprised by Italy on that one – haven’t they got quite a right-wing governing party and the PM is matey with Trump and makes questionable statements about Russia?

      Of course, our former PM here in the UK, the devil himself Tony Blair couldn’t wait to jump at the chance.

      What? You mean they don’t want to pay a $1 billion grift fee to Dear Leader?

      It’s not just political; it’s also a matter of structure. By joining this temporary „Board,“ you will be creating another parallel security structure that is in direct competition with NATO for frontline countries such as Poland. For Poland, there can be no justification for validating an alternate command structure other than Article 5, as this will pose a significant strategic risk to them.

      Kudos to the authors of the Italian constitution for stipulating that
      Italy can’t join an international body/treaty as a junior partner (/vassal state).

      Such a fucking joke, just like the man himself. I just wish it was a *funny* joke.

      Sounds like they are still leery about “a certain type of leader” after “a certain World War” *ahem-ahem*

      What? They don’t want to join the most prestigious and well respected collection of world leaders in history?
      What’s wrong with them?
