One speech and the friendship over? Donald Trump gave a big blow to Canada, name suddenly removed from peace mission

News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are a neighbor then this example has been given for years like Canada and America. But when it comes to Donald Trump, the definition of friendship can change overnight. The latest issue is regarding the ‘Board of Peace’, from where Trump has brutally withdrawn Canada’s invitation. Reason? That one speech given in Davos… Everything was going well, but veteran Canadian leader and former Central Bank Governor Mark Carney gave a speech in Davos (World Economic Forum) in Switzerland, which displeased Trump and his close ones. Carney is considered very close to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In his speech, he had used sharp words regarding some of Trump’s policies or his ideology. Then what happened was that Trump’s team immediately reacted and excluded Canada from this important international group. What is this ‘Board of Peace’? Understand it as an ambitious project of Trump, whose purpose is to create a platform for restoring peace in the ongoing wars around the world (like Russia-Ukraine or the Middle East). Some of America’s most important allies were to participate in it. Canada also played an important role in this, but now it seems that it is becoming difficult for Trudeau to keep pace with America. Clear message: ‘Trump does not like criticism’ This development has once again given a message to the world that ‘honesty and loyalty’ will be on top in Trump’s next term. Trump’s team probably wanted to show that on one hand you will give speeches against us on big platforms and on the other hand you will sit with us and talk about establishing peace in the world – both of these cannot go together. What does this mean for Canada? For Canada, this is not only a diplomatic defeat, but also a big warning for the times to come. Canada is always dependent on America on matters related to trade, security and border. In such a situation, being out of the ‘Board of Peace’ could be just the beginning. The challenge now for the Trudeau administration is how to handle the words of its advisors (like Mark Carney) and the deteriorating relations with America. Trump has made his first move on this political chessboard. Now it remains to be seen what Justin Trudeau answers on this.
