Trump withdraws Canada's invite to his 'Board of Peace'

Source: NBC News

President Donald Trump has withdrawn his invitation for his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney, to join his "Board of Peace," in an escalating feud between the two leaders.

"Dear Prime Minister Carney," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Thursday. "Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time."

The Canadian prime minister's office did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News.

No reason was given for the move by Trump, who has angered Canadians with repeated suggestions that he wants to annex their country. That animus flared again this week, after Trump bristled at Carney's description of a "rupture" of the postwar international order in the wake of Trump's territorial ambitions.

That is first.

“You have been sat to long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!.”
That is must be done with Trump and cabal thr GOP.

The USA is no longer a leader. Sc be it.
The USA as a leader did not happen until 1945 when the USA was the last man standing.

Trust is gone. The leaders are now Canada and France.

The Usa had a good run.

Canada had better position itself with others to protect their best interests. Be that China or Europe.

No credible world leader wants to pony up a billion dollars that we all KNOW will go into the world's greatest grifters pocket to be a member of his phony-balony club.

11. He's just jealous

He's really jealous of the standing ovation Carney got at Davos and also of the increased respect for Carney, who is emerging as the leader who is willing to stand up (and speak out against) to the Orange maggot, even though he doesn't mention him by name.

"Carney’s quiet, measured and evocative case-making demonstrated his ability to be the leader France’s Emmanuel Macron would like to be and the UK’s Keir Starmer is too cautious to be. He was clear, unequivocal and unafraid of the bully below his southern border. In standing up to the US president, Donald Trump, he appeared every inch the statesperson."

or at least the happiest man in North America today is Carney. Canada had never accepted the invitation in the first place and Carney was calculating how to stay away from that shitshow with the least drama.

He wakes up this morning and problem solved.

What an arrogant asshole. Carney tells the truth, stands strong and Agent Orange lashes out.

Repeat the narcissistic cycle a thousand times and call it a strategy.
