In January 2026, President Donald Trump revoked Canada's invitation to join his Board of Peace initiative after Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the use of tariffs and the collapse of the rules-based order in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump announced the withdrawal in a Truth Social post, addressing Carney directly. Carney's speech decried powerful nations using economic integration as weapons, receiving a standing ovation. Trump, who recently threatened a trade war against European countries, retorted that Canada "lives because of the United States" and that Carney should be grateful for US generosity. The revocation occurred hours after Trump officially launched the Board of Peace in Davos.
