Trump changed his mind about inviting Canada to the "Board of Peace" 

The catalyst for this decision was Carney's statement on January 20 during his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The Canadian prime minister claimed that the "world order is broken." In response, Donald Trump publicly remarked that, in his words, Canada largely "exists thanks to the United States."

According to Trump's proposal, the "Board of Peace" should focus on stabilizing Gaza, rebuilding its infrastructure, and finding solutions to other global conflicts.

Additionally, according to the charter of the body reviewed by Reuters, Trump secured lifetime rule — he will remain the head of the Council even if he stops serving as President of the United States.
