Trump launched the new initiative at the World Economic Forum earlier this week

U.S. President Donald Trump said late Thursday that he is withdrawing an invitation for Prime Minister Mark Carney to join his “Board of Peace” initiative for Gaza.

Trump launched the new initiative at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland. Its stated aim is to rebuild the war-ravaged territory.

Some 35 countries have signed up to join the board, but Carney had not yet said if Canada would accept Trump’s invitation. The prime minister was not at the official launch in Davos and instead was attending the first day of a cabinet retreat in Quebec City.

    Lmfao it’s so fucking comical.

    • Carney certainly couldn’t give less of a shit; nor should he
    • nobody and no country worth a damn anymore give a shit about orangeboi’s wish.com UN knockoff, or think that it will have any meaningful - let alone positive - impact. Not to mention, the group is such a hilariously obvious shakedown attempt.

    This is 10/10 “I don’t want to come to your party” “WELL YOU CAN’T COME BECAUSE I’M UNINVITING YOU >:(“. Fucking kindergarten-grade rhetoric. What a time to be alive.

      Donny Tantrum is just upset, because none of his “real” friends shoved up. Only few “fillers”. 3 of the cool fat kids did showed up, because they were promised cake, but they said they are not joining Donny’s BFF club.

      The cake is a lie.

    Sounds like he clearly cares more about his ego than international peace, no?

    A world leader being so obviously childishly petty with serious international matters that shamefully embarrasses their country on the world stage and damages their relationships with other nations will blow up in their face big time.

    Maybe his party will vote him out and replace him this month, to save face and avoid prolonging a scandal? That’s how it’d go in the UK, at least.

    …Can he outlast a lettuce?

      Lol, he’s a dictator with a chokehold on his party. We’re so far beyond normal democratic politics that we’ve reached the same stage as Germany in the 1930s. The only thing stopping Trump from invading Greenland is preparation and bigger conflicts that might distract him. It’ll probably happen by the end of the year tbh

    Really going for that Nobel Peace Prize. When he doesn’t get one next year, his board will create their own lifetime achievement award to bestow upon him which will only ever be given out once which makes it way more special and meaningful than an annual scandi prize. Basically the ceremony Tom Cruise got for his scientology medal. It’ll be that but more gaudy.

    “You aren’t invited to my birthday party anymore, I hate you.” Trump probably.

    Too many see him as comedy value but don’t get just how much harm he has caused to the US. I’m European, so enjoying reading how the EU is finally releasing the bonds that expose us to long term risks.
