00:05Donald Trump has rescinded Canada's invitation to join his proposed Board of Peace.
00:10Formerly uninviting Prime Minister Mark Carney, after a public dispute over tariffs, Green
00:15and Middle East policy, Trump announced the decision Friday morning on Truth Soap.
00:20Posting a letter addressed to Carney, stating that the Board of Peace was withdrawn.
00:25Trump described the body as
00:30the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, adding that Canada
00:35would no longer be considered for membership.
00:38The move followed Carney's
00:40criticism of Trump's tariff threats against European nations that opposed U.S. efforts
00:45to acquire Greenland, according to reporting by The Hill.
00:48Reuters previously confirmed
00:50that Carney had received an invitation to join the Board last week.
00:54Trump has accepted
00:55extended similar invitations to several world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir
01:00Putin, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Argentine President
01:05Javier Millet.
01:06Under Trump's proposal, the Board of Peace would oversee Gaza
01:10as part of a broader 20-point peace plan tied to a ceasefire between Israel
01:15and Hamas.
01:16Carney had publicly questioned the Board's structure, asking how the
01:20reported $1 billion membership fee would be used, and stressing that Canada wanted funds
01:25to have maximum impact, particularly in ensuring unimpeded humanitarian
01:30aid to Gaza.
01:31Carney was also critical of Trump's threat to
01:35impose tariffs on Denmark and other countries amid negotiations over Greenland.
01:40While that tariff threat later eased following discussions at the World Economic Forum and
01:45Boas, Carney reiterated Canada's support for Denmark and Greenland's right to determine their own
01:50future, while reaffirming Canada's commitment to NATO.
01:54Trump responded
01:55Trump responded sharply this week, stating that Canada lives because of the United States,
02:00and suggesting the U.S. provides Canada with significant security benefits.
02:05Carney pushed back Thursday on X, writing that while Canada and the U.S. share a strong partnership
02:10Canada doesn't live because of the United States.
02:13Canada thrives because
02:15we are Canadian.
