Trump withdraws invitation for Canada to join Board of Peace

US President Donald Trump withdrew on Thursday an invitation for Canada to join his Board of Peace initiative, Reuters writes.

Trump’s aboutface follows Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he openly decried powerful nations using economic integration as weapons and tariffs as leverage.

“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 Carney.

Last week, Carney’s office said he had been invited to serve on the board and planned to accept.
