"Just days after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the U.S. for wielding its power to demand subservience, President Donald Trump on Thursday revoked Carney's invitation to his colonial "Board of Peace," removing access to the structure that the administration seeks to use to replace the UN. In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, Trump wrote a letter to Carney, saying: "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.""
"The board's immediate purpose is to implement the U.S.'s neocolonial plan to rule over Gaza, and has been harshly criticized by human rights advocates as an abomination to sideline Palestinian life in favor of colonial extraction. Experts have also raised alarm that the ultimate goal is to undermine the UN's power and replace it with a U.S.-controlled body where countries are only accountable to the most powerful figures and the whims of the Trump administration."
President Donald Trump withdrew Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to join a U.S.-created "Board of Peace" after Carney criticized U.S. exertion of power and distanced himself over a reported $1 billion fee for a permanent seat. The Board is intended to implement U.S. plans for governance in Gaza and has drawn condemnation from human rights advocates for prioritizing colonial extraction over Palestinian life. Experts warn the Board aims to weaken the United Nations and substitute a U.S.-controlled body where accountability flows to the most powerful actors and the Trump administration's preferences.
