Trump stunningly agrees U.S. will develop into ‘affiliate member’ of the Commonwealth: ‘I really like King Charles’

President Donald Trump on Friday indicated he would accept an offer from King Charles to join the British Commonwealth.

‘I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!,’ Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

Trump was responded to an exclusive report in DailyMail.com that the King would make an ‘exclusive’ offer to the president for the U.S. to become the next ‘associate member’ of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth, whose nations have a total population of more than 2.7billion, is one of the world’s oldest political associations of states, with its roots in the British Empire. 

The proposal was originally floated in Trump’s first term, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, who Trump adored. 

Now the British are reviving the plan to extend the invitation with the hope the King will personally make the case to Trump when the president and first lady make their state visit to the UK later this year.  

The proposals were made by the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS), with the apparent backing of Queen Elizabeth, during Trump’s first term as president, but did not come to fruition. Now, the plans have been revived, with members of the society hopeful that the King will make the case to Trump when he meets him.

‘This is being discussed at the highest levels,’ a member of the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) told DailyMail.com: ‘It would be a wonderful move that would symbolize Britain’s close relationship with the US.

‘Donald Trump loves Britain and has great respect for the Royal Family, so we believe he would see the benefits of this. Associate membership could, hopefully, be followed by full membership, making the Commonwealth even more important as a global organization.’

The source added: ‘The Commonwealth is also a great forum for resolving differences between nations, and the King has shown that he is a natural peacemaker.’
