US EditionTrump says he is withdrawing Canada's invitation to Board of Peace
Trump withdrew Canada’s invitation to his Board of Peace after Canadian PM Carney’s critical Davos speech and refusal to pay a $1 billion fee for permanent membership.
- On Thursday night, U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew Canada’s invitation to join the Board of Peace in an open Truth Social post as he flew back from Davos, Switzerland.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney skipped the Board's launch to attend a Quebec City cabinet retreat and delivered a Davos speech urging middle powers to uphold the rules-based international order.
- The launch revealed that Trump inaugurated the Board of Peace at Davos and signed a charter but offered few operational details, while France rejected and Britain, Germany and many Europeans stayed absent amid controversy over contentious leaders and fears it could parallel the U.N.
- The post drew immediate mockery online from American and Canadian social media critics, while Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s partnership in Quebec City and CBC News sought comment from his office.
- Observers note the board’s Gaza remit includes a $1 billion U.S. funding offer per permanent seat and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s $1 billion proposal from frozen assets, but the mandate and membership remain unclear.
