On the evening of the 22nd, U.S. President Trump said on social media that he has withdrawn the previous invitation for Canadian Prime Minister Carney to join the 'Peace Committee.'
Trump wrote: 'Esteemed Prime Minister Carney, through this letter, on behalf of the "Peace Committee," we inform you that the invitation regarding Canada's participation in the ("Peace Committee") is hereby withdrawn.'
On the 20th, at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, Carney gave a speech criticizing U.S. policy for causing global relations to break down. Although he did not refer to Trump by name, Carney mentioned 'American hegemony' in his speech and said that the U.S. was using 'economic integration' as a 'means of coercion.'
On the 22nd, Carney acknowledged in a speech in Quebec City, Canada, that the U.S. and Canada have established excellent partnerships in the fields of economy, security, and cultural exchange. However, he emphasized: 'Canada does not depend on the United States for its existence. Canada prospers because we are Canadians.'
On the 22nd, Trump signed a document with representatives from more than ten countries and regions in Davos, Switzerland, launching the 'Peace Committee.'
