"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 in a Truth Social post directed at the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney. Trump launched his board of peace initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, claiming it would be one of the most consequential bodies ever created in the history of the world."
"While the leaders of many liberal democracies declined to sign on to Trump's new international organization, Carney had, before Davos, accepted in principle, though he said on Sunday his officials had not yet gone through all the details of the structure, how it's going to work, what the financing is for, etcetera. Canada wants money to have maximum impact, Carney told reporters."
"When he arrived in Davos, Trump made it clear that he had heard or at least heard of Carney's viral speech. Canada lives because of the United States, Trump said in his own address on Wednesday. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements. Canada doesn't live because of the United States, Carney responded Thursday. Canada thrives because we are Canadian."
Donald Trump withdrew an invitation for Canada to join his Board of Peace, posting the withdrawal on Truth Social and addressing Prime Minister Mark Carney. Trump launched the board at the World Economic Forum in Davos, calling it a consequential body to be chaired by him. Governor Carney had accepted in principle prior to Davos but said officials had not reviewed structural, operational, or financing details. Canada's finance minister said Canada would not pay the requested $1 billion for a permanent seat. Carney criticized a rupture in the rules-based order attributed to Trump, prompting a public exchange about Canada's relationship with the United States.
