US Edition‘Huge blessing in disguise’ for Carney to be disinvited from Trump’s Board of Peace, professor says
Trump revoked Canada’s Board of Peace invitation after Carney’s speech at Davos criticized U.S. dominance and coercive diplomacy, escalating tensions between the allies.
- Late Thursday, President Donald Trump revoked Canada’s invitation to the Board of Peace in an online post as he returned to Washington, withdrawing Canada from the newly established body.
- Mark Carney's Davos address earlier this week argued the rules-based international order was in 'rupture' and criticized American hegemony, urging middle powers to resist U.S. tariffs and Greenland dispute threats.
- Trump hosted a signing ceremony for the Board of Peace on the World Economic Forum sidelines earlier this week, with more than two dozen countries including Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar signing on, while France, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom declined or expressed reservations.
- The revocation escalates tensions between the U.S. and Canada amid months of disputes, while human rights advocates criticize the board as a neocolonial plan tied to Gaza and the UN.
- Odd diplomatic elements, including the $1 billion fee claim and the Vatican's evaluation of 'Pope Leo, the first American pope,' highlight critics' questions about the board's legitimacy.
