Carney Treads Carefully on Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ as Ottawa Rejects $1‑Billion Fee

                                      Carney leaves door open to paying fee to join Trump’s Gaza 'Board of Peace'

He noted that Canada’s involvement must align with its long‑standing humanitarian principles and deliver tangible benefits to civilians on the ground.

Foreign Affairs Minister François‑Philippe Champagne has taken a firmer line, ruling out the idea of paying a $1‑billion membership fee reportedly tied to participation. Champagne stressed that Canada will not commit to such a sum without transparency and a clear demonstration of impact.

The contrasting tones from Carney and Champagne reflect a broader international hesitation surrounding the initiative, which has raised questions about cost, oversight, and geopolitical implications. For now, Canada remains engaged in discussions — but on its own terms.
