Trump withdraws ‘Board of Peace’ invitation to Carney in widening rift with Canada

U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the invitation to Canada to join his “Board of Peace,” days after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s address in Davos warning against economic coersion by the world’s superpowers.

Even if Venezuelan oil production is years away from equaling what the US imports from Canada, don't be 100% surprised if Trump the Magnificent and Perfect cuts off Canadian imports anyway. He cares not one whit for the welfare of USians. He is butt-hurt by Carney's refusal to pay him a bribe, on top of being skunked on Greenland.
