Carney takes cautious approach to Trump’s invitation to join ‘Board of Peace’
Carney expresses concerns about the board’s governance and $1 billion fee while Canada may fund Palestinian aid directly, amid controversy over invited members including Putin.
- At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney said Canada has concerns about the Board of Peace's governance and decision-making under U.S. President Donald Trump.
- Global leaders warned the board's mandate extends beyond Gaza and permanent membership reportedly requires a $1 billion contribution, while invitations included Russian President Vladimir Putin despite Russia's war in Ukraine.
- Earlier today in Davos, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Canada will not pay to join the Board of Peace, while Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada could fund Palestinian welfare directly and is not ruling out participation.
- While leaving Florida Monday night, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested rejecting invitations could bring retaliation and claimed French President Emmanuel Macron would change his mind after a 200 per cent wine tariff, with leaders of Israel, Belarus, Slovenia and Thailand and the European Union’s executive invited.
- Part of Trump’s 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan, the Board of Peace received endorsement from the UN Security Council.
