Trump Withdraws Canada's Invitation to the 'Board of Peace' Amid Tensions

President Donald Trump has rescinded Canada’s invitation to join his newly formed "Board of Peace" after rising tensions with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Canada had initially agreed to participate but declined to pay the one billion dollar fee demanded by Trump.

The "Board of Peace," of which Trump would be the lifelong president, aims to resolve conflicts but has faced criticism for sidelining the UN and excluding key members such as China, France, Russia, and the UK. European leaders have expressed skepticism but are willing to cooperate regarding Gaza.

This dispute with Canada follows Carney's criticisms of major powers at Davos, prompting Trump to accuse Canada of unfairly benefiting from the United States. In response, Carney emphasized Canada's independence and resilience.
