The Board of Peace Invitation to Putin
President Donald Trump has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to be on his new Board of Peace, which will help oversee reconstruction in Gaza and stability in the Middle East. On October 13, the Kremlin confirmed that Moscow would participate in a reconstruction project that is projected to cost between 50 billion and 100 billion, even with the war in Ukraine. This invitation has sent a message to global energy companies, defense contractors, and infrastructure builders indicating that tensions are thawing and that new contracts can soon be expected as well as increased volume of commodities flowing into markets.
