Trump has built plan for international power after he leaves White House: Mike Huckabee

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee indicated that President Donald Trump's Board of Peace could become his primary post-presidency focus, giving him an indefinite position of power.

In an interview with the New York Post, Huckabee stated that Trump intends to remain influential following his departure from office in 2028. Huckabee said, "Anybody that knows him knows this is not a guy he's ever going to retire. He's not going to sit on a rocking chair on a front porch and just play golf once a week. He's incapable of settling down like that."

The Board of Peace, Trump claims, was built to assemble world leaders and international power brokers to address global conflicts. It requires a $1 billion contribution for membership, and was shunned by western leaders at an induction ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month.

But Huckabee said it could transition into a long-term personal initiative once Trump leaves the White House. Trump has already designated himself as the board's indefinite chairman and indicated his preference for locating the organization's headquarters in Washington.

Drawing on religious doctrine, Huckabee referenced biblical teachings about peacemaking. He stated: "There's a scripture in the New Testament that says, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.' And unfortunately, a lot of people think that means, 'Blessed are the peace-lovers.' Well, everybody loves peace, but the people who love peace don't necessarily make it."

Huckabee continued, "You can give the peace sign, and you can wear symbols, and you get a tattoo on your arm saying, I love peace. That doesn't make peace."

"On the other hand, Trump wants to be a peacemaker."

Huckabee credited Trump with resolving or reducing tensions in multiple international conflicts — though those claims have been doubted by multiple fact-checkers.
