Trump disinvites Canada from his ‘Board of Peace’ days after Mark Carney’s blistering speech at Davos
President Donald Trump has disinvited Canada from his “Board of Peace” days after Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a blistering speech in Davos, Switzerland, warning of “an era of great power rivalry” and suggesting the US-led world order was over and was “not coming back.”
The speech, given at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday, was seen as a rebuke of Trump’s policies, including his tariffs regime, his threats to force Canada to become the 51st state of the United States, and his efforts to acquire Greenland.
In a Truth Social post Thursday night, Trump wrote in the format of a letter, “Dear Prime Minister Carney:
“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 has said permanent members will have to pay $1 billion to join, although he has not explained in detail what that money would be used for. When asked on his flight back to the U.S. on Thursday he said: “That's a lot of money, but it's nothing compared to the value of peace.”
He has also suggested he could be head of the Board of Peace for life.
