President Donald Trump accepts major offer from King Charles: ‘I love King Charles
President Donald Trump announced Friday he’ll accept King Charles’ offer for the U.S. to join the British Commonwealth as an associate member, strengthening U.S.-UK ties. “I love King Charles. Sounds good to me!” Trump posted on Truth Social, responding to a DailyMail+ report by Richard Eden.
The Commonwealth, with 56 member states and 2.7 billion people, connects former British territories. Trump and the King have maintained a good relationship, exchanging letters since Trump left office. The invitation may be formalized during Trump’s upcoming UK state visit. A source said Trump respects the Royal Family and sees the benefits, noting the Commonwealth’s role in resolving global differences and the King’s peacemaking skills.
