President Donald Trump uninvited Canada to join his “Board of Peace” on Thursday night by delivering the news to Prime Minister Mark Carney on social media.
Trump announced the “Board of Peace” this week, and said member states will serve no more than three years, but those that pay $1 billion would have permanent seats. So far, only a handful of countries – a little more than 20 – have signed on to the ersatz United Nations. They include Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.
Trump took to Truth Social to inform Carney that Canada would be unable to join the club:
Dear Prime Minister Carney:
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.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
(It is unclear if Carney has a Truth Social account, even if it’s just a burner.)
