President Trump Rescinds Canada’s Invitation to His ‘Board of Peace’

President Trump on Thursday rescinded his invitation to Canada to join his “Board of Peace,” an organization he founded to oversee the Gaza peace deal, after Prime Minister Mark Carney made comments critical of the United States.

Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy and security and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they’re not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn’t so grateful. They should be grateful to us. Canada, Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark. The next time you make your statements. Middle powers must act together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland’s future.

During his remarks, Patel confirmed the arrest and extradition of another man who had been on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list.

He only gives his last name – Castillo – and appears to be referencing fugitive Alejandro Castillo, who is now labeled as “captured” on the FBI’s list.

Castillo is wanted for the murder of his former girlfriend in 2016, Truc Quan “Sandy” Ly Le, who he met when they were both working in a North Carolina restaurant.

The FBI says he owed the victim around $1,000 at the time of the murder.

Castillo, who was 17-years-old at the time of the killing, crossed into Mexico two months later. Officials said he was to be considered “armed and extremely dangerous” and had offered a $250,000 award for information leading to his capture.

In a news release from last week, the FBI announced that Castillo had been captured in Hidalgo, Mexico, and would be extradited to North Carolina.

Video: Jack Smith Defends His Trump Indictments During House Hearing

“Do you swear or affirm, under penalty of perjury, that the testimony you’re about to give is true and correct to the best of your knowledge, information and belief, so help you God?” “I do. No one should be above the law in this country, and the law required that he be held to account. So that is what I did. To have done otherwise on the facts of these cases would have been to shirk my duties as a prosecutor.” “You, like the President’s Men for Richard Nixon, went after your political enemies. Maybe they’re not your political enemies, but they sure as hell were Joe Biden’s political enemies, weren’t they? They were Harris’s political enemies. They were the enemies of the president, and you were their arm, weren’t you?” “No.” “So, Mr. Smith, what evidence did you develop to suggest Trump knew he had lost the 2020 election?” “We had evidence from a variety of sources, evidence from people who were close to Donald Trump and who he relied on, people who wanted him to win the election. Our investigation revealed that Donald Trump is the person who caused Jan. 6, that it was foreseeable to him and that he sought to exploit the violence.” “Under your theory, people besides the president were involved in the unprecedented assault on American democracy, but you didn’t find it necessary to charge them criminally.” “I had not yet charged anyone besides the president.” “You didn’t — you decided not to charge anybody but Donald Trump in that indictment.” “I made the decision to make the charges in this case.” “And, Mr. Smith, do you believe that President Trump’s Department of Justice will find some way to indict you?” “I believe that they will do everything in their power to do that because they’ve been ordered to by the president.”
