The Peace Council, created by US President Donald Trump, is withdrawing its invitation to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to join the organization.
The American leader announced this on his profile on the social network Truth Social.
“Let this letter serve as confirmation that the Peace Council is withdrawing its invitation to you to join Canada as a member of the most prestigious Council of Leaders ever formed“, Trump wrote to Carney, quoted by Reuters.
Earlier this week, Carney said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the rules-based international order has reached its end, and called on middle-weight countries like Canada to build strategic autonomy and new forms of cooperation without abandoning values such as human rights, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"It seems like every day we are reminded that we live in an age of great power rivalry, that the rules-based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can and the weak must accept what they must accept," Carney said, citing an aphorism by Thucydides that he said was misrepresented as the inevitable logic of international relations.
Carney described the situation not as a transition but as a rupture in which economic integration is increasingly being weaponized - through tariffs, financial pressures and vulnerable supply chains. He warned that when integration becomes a source of subordination, "you cannot live with the lie of mutual benefit".
