00:15Trump announced the decision
00:20Friday morning on Truth Social,
00:21posting a letter addressed to Carney stating that the Board of Peace
00:25was withdrawing its invitation for Canada to participate.
00:29He described the body
00:30as the most prestigious board of leaders ever assembled,
00:33adding that Canada would know
00:35no longer be considered for membership.
00:37The move followed Carney's criticism of Trump
00:40tariff threats against European nations that opposed U.S. efforts to acquire Green
00:45Island, according to reporting by The Hill.
00:47Reuters had previously confirmed that Carney
00:50received an invitation to join the board last week.
00:53Trump has extended similar
00:55invitations to several world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin,
01:00Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Argentine President Javier Millay.
01:05Under Trump's proposal, the Board of Peace would oversee Gaza as part of a broader
01:1020-point peace plan linked to a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
01:15Carney publicly questioned the board's structure, asking how the reported $1 billion
01:20membership fee would be used in emphasizing that Canada wanted the funds to have maximum impact.
01:25particularly in ensuring unimpeded humanitarian aid to Gaza.
01:30Carney was also critical of Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Denmark and other countries
01:35amid negotiations over Greenland.
01:37Although that tariff threat later eased following
01:40discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney reiterated Canada's support for
01:45Denmark and Greenland's right to determine their own future while reaffirming Canada's
01:50commitment to NATO.
01:51Trump responded sharply this week, stating that Canada
01:55lives because of the United States and suggesting the U.S. provides Canada with
02:00significant security benefits.
02:02Carney pushed back Thursday on X, writing that
02:05while Canada and the United States share a strong partnership, Canada doesn't live because
02:10of the United States.
02:11Canada thrives because we are Canadian.
