Trump Uninvites Canada From Gaza ‘Board Of Peace’ After Davos Remarks

President Donald Trump on Thursday night rescinded an invitation for Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to join his Gaza “Board of Peace,” following Carney’s remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this week.

Trump announced the decision in a Truth Social post, writing, “Dear Prime Minister Carney: 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 move came after Carney delivered a speech in Davos criticizing the post–World War II, U.S.-led international order. In his remarks, Carney argued that the so-called “rules-based international order” is no longer merely evolving, but breaking down entirely amid rising great power competition and what he described as coercive economic behavior.

Carney said that middle powers like Canada have long benefited from a system that provided stability, predictable trade rules, and collective security, but claimed that system was always flawed. He argued that the strongest nations routinely exempted themselves from international rules when convenient, and that enforcement of international law varied depending on who was involved. According to Carney, that framework no longer works and should no longer be treated as if it does.

Trump responded forcefully to the comments, accusing Canada of ingratitude despite what he described as longstanding American support.

“Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful,” Trump said. “I watched your prime minister yesterday, he wasn’t so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”

The Gaza Board of Peace was unveiled earlier this week at Davos as part of Trump’s broader postwar vision for the region. Administration officials have described the group as a high-level international body focused on security, reconstruction, and long-term stability following the Gaza conflict.

With Canada now removed from consideration, the White House has not indicated whether another nation will be invited to take its place.
