Trump withdraws Canada's invite to his 'Board of Peace' [View all]

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President Donald Trump has withdrawn his invitation for his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney, to join his "Board of Peace," in an escalating feud between the two leaders.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