Trump disinvites Canada from his ‘peace board’

By RT International

US President Donald Trump has rescinded an invitation to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to join his ‘Board of Peace’, a new global body he hopes to make central to resolving world conflicts.

Trump invited dozens of heads of state to sit on the board, which he initially created to oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza as part of a UN-backed peace deal between Hamas and Israel.

A number of countries, however, refused to join, arguing that the board’s broad scope would come into conflict with the mandate of the UN.

Trump changed his mind about Canada’s participation following a public spat with the prime minister.
