Trump Rescinds Invitation to Canada for 'Board of Peace' Amid Rising Tensions

Washington D.C. – U.S. President Donald Trump has withdrawn the invitation extended to Canada to participate in his 'Board of Peace'. This decision comes amidst escalating tensions between the North American neighbors in recent days.

Trump stated on the social media platform Truth Social, addressing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, that the 'invitation to join Canada's Board of Peace has been rescinded.' However, he did not publicly state a clear reason for withdrawing the invitation.

Prime Minister Carney had warned this week that serious rifts could emerge in the U.S.-led world order. He also indicated a refusal to pay the $1 billion membership fee set for participation in Trump's new body.

Although Carney had stated last week that he could theoretically participate in the board, the issue of fees appears to have intensified the disagreement between the two countries. Trump has stated that permanent member nations must pay a substantial amount to operate the board.

This 'Board of Peace,' chaired by Trump, has been presented by the United States as a new mechanism for resolving international conflicts. Initially, it was stated that its objective was to end the two-year-long war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and oversee reconstruction. The Canadian Prime Minister's office has not immediately responded to Trump's announcement.
