Nations React to Reported $1 Billion Fee for Trump’s Peace Board

  President Trump said the Peace Board 'will embark on a new approach to resolving global conflict'. Reports surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace have ignited global debate after claims surfaced that countries may be asked to contribute $1 billion to secure or maintain permanent membership. The board, envisioned as a body overseeing governance and reconstruction efforts in Gaza, would reportedly be chaired by Trump himself, who would hold authority over which nations are admitted. A draft charter circulating among diplomats outlines three‑year membership terms, renewable only with the chairman’s approval. It also suggests that nations contributing $1 billion within the first year could bypass term limits and secure a permanent seat.

Tragedy Unfolds: North Korea Executes 30 Teens for Watching South Korean Dramas

In a chilling turn of events, North Korea has reportedly executed around 30 middle school students for the grave offense of watching South Korean dramas. According to reports from South Korean news outlets Chosun TV and Korea JoongAng Daily, these teenagers were publicly shot last week. Their crime? Viewing shows that were stored on USBs, which had been floated over the border by North Korean defectors.

The situation sheds light on North Korea’s harsh penalties for consuming South Korean media. Under the so-called “evil” laws, disseminating media originating from South Korea, the US, or Japan is strictly forbidden. The Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act, one of these laws, imposes severe consequences for such actions. While the report remains unverified, experts believe that, given the regime’s intensified crackdown on information from the outside world, these executions are plausible.

This isn’t the first instance of North Koreans facing dire consequences for their association with content from their southern neighbor. In the past, individuals have been killed for selling digital content from South Korea or even wearing white wedding dresses, deemed “reactionary.” Despite eyewitness accounts, the North Korean government denies public executions, but the reality remains grim.

The tragic fate of these teenagers serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions between North and South Korea, a conflict that technically persists since the 1950s. As the world watches, we’re left questioning the price of curiosity and the lengths to which oppressive regimes will go to maintain control.
