Aaawww ... :
U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew on Thursday an invitation for Canada to join his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts.
Trump's aboutface follows Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he openly decried powerful nations using economic integration as weapons and tariffs as leverage.
(Sidebar: hardly. Canada has levelled many punitive tariffs against the US well before Trump was elected and for someone who thought that trampling people with horses and freezing their bank accounts wasn't going far enough, that's pretty rich. Petty, even.)
"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," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post directed at Carney.
Neither Carney's office nor the White House immediately responded to Reuters requests for comment on Thursday evening.
Last week, Carney's office said he had been invited to serve on the board and planned to accept.
It must be the weasel things Carney said and did.
