Among those on the seven-member “founding executive board” are US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and World Bank President Ajay Banga.
Trump himself will chair the board, which is to have 15 members. The US president said it was the “Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place.”
