Trump notes prisoner release in Belarus, says Łukašenka welcome at Board of Peace

March 30, Pozirk. US President Donald Trump said he looked forward to meeting Alaksandar Łukašenka at the next Board of Peace event, noting that the Belarusian ruler has “gracefully released” more than 500 prisoners since May 2025.
In a TruthSocial post, Trump also said that John Coale, US special envoy for Belarus, “got more than 250 political prisoners freed” after his recent talks with Łukašenka on March 19.
Following the negotiations, Łukašenka’s press office reported that Washigton had lifted sanctions on Biełinvestbank and the Development Bank of Belarus, the finance ministry, Biełaruskalij and Belarusian Potash Company.
In mid-February, Łukašenka decided against traveling to Washington for the first meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace because of European air traffic restrictions for Belarus.
The Board of Peace was originally conceived as a mechanism to implement part of the Gaza ceasefire plan. However, Trump and his officials later suggested it would address a broader range of global issues, with the US president saying it has the potential to become “one of the most consequential bodies ever created.”
