"In his speech to world leaders in Davos, Switzerland, Carney openly decried powerful nations using economic integration as weapons and tariffs as leverage, and urged nations to accept the end of a rules-based global order, receiving a rare standing ovation. Trump recently threatened a trade war against European countries which oppose his bid to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark."
"Carney added that Canada, which recently signed a trade deal with China, can show how middle powers might act together to avoid being victimised by US hegemony. Trump retorted that Canada lives because of the United States, and told listeners in Davos that Carney should be grateful for US generosity. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements, he added, calling Carney by his first name."
"Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada's joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time, Trump wrote on Thursday in a Truth Social post, addressing Carney directly. The withdrawal of Canada's invitation came hours after Trump officially launched the board in Davos."
