CBS News • • world
Key Points:
- President Trump announced that Canada is no longer invited to join his international Board of Peace, following escalating tensions with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- The Board of Peace, launched by Trump in Davos, is intended to oversee the Gaza Strip under an Israel-Hamas ceasefire, but its broader role and operational details remain unclear.
- Canada had agreed "in principle" to join but raised concerns about funding and the need for unimpeded aid flows to Gaza, and rejected the idea of paying $1 billion for permanent membership.
- The decision to rescind Canada's invitation comes amid ongoing disputes between the U.S. and Canada over trade and tariffs, with Trump publicly criticizing Carney for perceived ingratitude toward the U.S.
