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.

    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.

      But he already got it, that Venezuelan politician gave it to him! Totally voluntarily of course! (Don’t tell him it’s not the price itself but only the medal)
