Trump Revokes Canada's 'Peace' Invite: The Illusion of Global Diplomacy
📰 THE STORY: Al Jazeera reports that Donald Trump, in 2026, revoked Canada’s invitation to join a 'Board of Peace' after Canada's Prime Minister criticized tariffs and the 'collapse of the rules-based order' at Davos. The article frames this as a retaliatory move for Canada's perceived insolence on the global stage. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The very concept of a 'Board

attempted coup in Venezuela, 2019 lithium coup in Bolivia), often precisely when those nations challenged US economic dominance.
