- Invitations have been extended to at least four countries: Argentina, Canada, Egypt, and Turkey, with Argentina and Canada indicating acceptance, while Egypt and Turkey have yet to confirm participation.
- The board, chaired by Trump, is described by him as the "Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled," though its exact mandate and vision remain unclear.
