Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hit back Thursday at President Donald Trump’s inflammatory claim at the World Economic Forum that “Canada lives because of the United States.”
“Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian,” Carney responded in a national address in Quebec City ahead of a new legislative session, even as he acknowledged the “remarkable partnership” between the two nations.
Trump appeared to shoot back later Thursday on his Truth Social platform, withdrawing an invitation for Canada to join the “Board of Peace” — his self-styled billion-dollar body for resolving global conflict.
“Dear Prime Minister Carney: Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
