Trump Revokes Canada's Invite to "Board of Peace

President Trump rescinded Canada's invitation to join the newly formed "Board of Peace" after Prime Minister Carney expressed concerns about the U.S.-led global order and Ottawa declined to pay the $1 billion membership fee. While Trump did not specify a reason for the withdrawal, the move follows Canada's indication that it would participate without paying the required fee, while EU leaders have expressed reservations about the board's scope but remain open to collaboration in Gaza. The U.S. envisions the board as an international organization focused on conflict resolution, with Trump as chairman wielding significant decision-making authority.
