Trump Rescinds Canada's Board of Peace Invite After Carney's Davos Defiance
President Trump has withdrawn Canada's invitation to the Board of Peace following PM Mark Carney's critical Davos speech. Read about the escalating US-Canada rift.
The invitation is gone. Donald Trump just uninvited Canada from his most ambitious global initiative in a move that's sent shockwaves through the diplomatic community. According to reports from Al Jazeera on January 23, 2026, the U.S. President retaliated against Prime Minister Mark Carney following a defiant speech at the World Economic Forum.
Trump Board of Peace Canada Exclusion and Davos Friction
The fallout stems from Carney's blunt address in Davos, where he decried powerful nations using tariffs and economic integration as weapons. In what appeared to be a direct challenge to Trump's hegemony, Carney urged "middle powers" to act together to avoid victimization. He even highlighted Canada's recent trade deal with China as a blueprint for this new autonomy.
Trump didn't take the critique lightly. Writing on Truth Social, he addressed the Prime Minister directly: "Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you." He later reminded listeners that Canada only "lives because of the United States," escalating a personal feud with the man he once invited to his inner circle.
The $1 Billion Club: A New Global Order?
The Board of Peace, initially conceived to oversee the Gaza ceasefire, has morphed into a massive geopolitical body. To join as a permanent member, nations must contribute $1bn each. While Trump claims nearly 30 members—including Argentina, Pakistan, and Turkiye—have already signed on, key European allies remain on the sidelines.
Leaders from the UK, France, and Italy haven't joined yet, citing the need for parliamentary approval. Trump remains undeterred, stating that once the board is formed, it will operate in conjunction with the United Nations to "do pretty much whatever we want to do."
