Trump Signals Support for U.S. Joining Commonwealth as 'Associate Member'
King Charles III is reportedly planning to propose the unprecedented offer during Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK, though no official confirmation has been made.
- President Trump expressed enthusiasm for the idea, calling it a 'good' proposal and sharing his admiration for King Charles III on Truth Social.
- The proposal to make the U.S. an 'associate member' of the Commonwealth is unprecedented, as all current members are full members.
- Reports suggest the Royal Commonwealth Society is advocating for the move to symbolize the strong US-UK relationship and potentially ease tensions with Canada.
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered King Charles' hand-written invitation for a state visit to Trump in February 2025.
- Buckingham Palace and the Commonwealth Secretariat have not commented on the reported proposal, leaving its official status unclear.
