Donald Trump has withdrawn an invitation for Mark Carney to join the “Board of Peace”, in an apparent snub just days after the Canadian prime minister warned that the rules-based international order was over in a speech that won acclaim at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In a post on Truth Social late on Thursday, Trump wrote: “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 US president earlier on Thursday had unveiled the body at Davos, saying it “coupled with the United Nations, can be something very unique for the world”.
