Trump withdraws Canada's invitation to the Peace Council

Some have accepted, others have refused and several invitations have not yet been responded to. However, Canada's invitation has been withdrawn. Donald Trump announced this on Truth Social, The Guardian reports.

There, Trump criticized Carney's statement that the world order is about to change as a result of Trump's aggressive policies.
