And as our colleague Daniel Estrin has reported, the charter says there's a need for a more effective international peace-building body, which makes some fear that the board is attempting to create a rival to the U.N.

Russia says Trump has asked President Vladimir Putin to sign on as part of the board.

So it's unclear what he'll do and what traditional U.S.

allies will do.

Of course.

Trump recently attacked Venezuela and deposed its leader in order to take control of its oil.

So that kind of undermines that he's always thinking of peace.

But at any rate, the White House continues to insist that Trump is the president of peace and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump also ended his text message to the Norwegian prime minister by saying that the U.S.

should control Greenland.

On Saturday, Trump posted that he is going to impose 10% tariffs on goods from eight European countries starting February 1st, then raise that tariff to 25% in June.

And Trump said he will keep those on until a deal is reached for the U.S.

to acquire Greenland.

What law authorizes this?

Is an executive order coming?
