Canada will not pay $1-billion to take part in Trump’s ‘Board of Peace,’ Champagne says

January 20, 2026

Canada will not be paying a reported US$1-billion membership fee to participate in Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Tuesday in comments that suggest Ottawa is still weighing whether to join.

Mr. Champagne, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, would not say whether the fact that Mr. Trump had invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the “Board of Peace” would affect Canada’s position.
