Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has been appointed to the executive body of Donald Trump's "Peace Board", has distanced himself from the president's demand that countries pay $1 billion for permanent membership.

Blair has refused to support the request for these funds, which is based on a draft charter for the new organization. The stance is seen as another signal that the details of the “Peace Board” are causing opposition among US allies and partners to Trump’s project.

A spokesman for Tony Blair said he was not involved in determining the composition of the board, suggesting he would not publicly support the proposal. The spokesman added that any questions about the $1 billion tariff should be directed to the Trump administration.

Bloomberg News writes that some countries may refuse to join the board due to the conditions imposed by Trump. Other countries may agree in principle to join the "Peace Board", but are expected to refuse to pay the fee for permanent membership.

In this case, they will either try to negotiate the tariff or may withdraw from the board if Trump insists on this idea.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated that he has agreed in principle to join the board, but has not agreed on the payment.

"Regarding the details of the Peace Board, we have not yet reviewed the structure, the way it operates, financing and other issues. We will work on these in the coming days," he said.

A Canadian official stressed that the government will not pay for a seat on the board, and that the organization's draft charter is still under discussion. According to him, Carney's participation is also to influence the process from within.
