Trump weighs in on report King Charles will offer U.S. commonwealth membership

Nearly 250 years after America cast off the shackles of empire by declaring independence from Great Britain, President Donald Trump appears inclined to take a small step back towards the warm embrace of the British monarchy by accepting an invitation from King Charles III for the United States to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

The King is reportedly preparing to extend the offer of "associate membership" in the voluntary association of 56 nations, most of which have history as former British colonies. And Trump, it seems, is open to the idea.

Writing on his Truth Social platform while sharing an article referencing the unprecedented offer, Trump said: "I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!"
