Trump Ousts Canada from Board of Peace: A $1 Billion Fee and a Davos Feud
Trump revokes Canada's Board of Peace invite after a feud with PM Mark Carney over Davos comments and a $1 billion fee. Analysis of the shift in US diplomacy.
The gloves are off in North America. President Donald Trump has officially revoked Canada's invitation to join his newly formed Board of Peace. This dramatic withdrawal follows a public spat with Prime Minister Mark Carney, who recently warned of a 'rupture' in the global order at the World Economic Forum.
Trump Board of Peace Canada Withdrawal: Personal and Financial Rifts
Writing on Truth Social, Trump directed a sharp message to Mark Carney, stating that the board is withdrawing its invitation. This move comes after Carney urged middle powers to unite against economic coercion by greater powers—a clear jab at Trump's 'America First' approach. Trump responded by claiming Canada lives because of the United States and should show more gratitude.
Beyond the rhetoric, a significant financial hurdle stood in the way. Ottawa had indicated it would not pay the $1bn membership fee Trump has demanded from permanent members. While Canada initially expressed interest in joining on principle, the billion-dollar price tag became a point of contention.
Supplanting the UN: Global Response to the Board's Charter
The Board of Peace is increasingly viewed as a tool to bypass the UN. Its charter grants Trump 'chairman for life' status and aims to resolve conflicts like the Gaza war under a US-led framework. According to the White House, 35 nations have already signed up, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Argentina.
However, traditional allies are hesitant. The UK remains concerned about Vladimir Putin's potential involvement, while France has labeled the charter 'incompatible' with its international commitments. EU chief Antonio Costa expressed 'serious doubts' but left the door open for cooperation on a transitional administration in Gaza.
