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.'
So, are we keeping the Royal Family....hmm...
If POTUS does this, there's A REASON.
Maybe the UK will become another US state, how many new states will have then? 🤔🤣
Imagine that. Once ruled over the American colonies only to become one 250 years later lol. All seriousness. I don't like it. I rather we have nothing to do with the failing European countries. But I do want to know why Trump is considering it. What pieces are in play for this to be a conversation.
I don't like it either. Isn't Charles involved in WEF?, and what about "Earthshot'. Not a fan.
Elect a new governor, I should wonder mate. Govenor Farage, that sounds good.
I think our British cousins would love it. We need to hear from u/propertyofUniverse
We have a lot of TDS here, just the same as you guys.
The rest of us might consider it, although I think it might be better if the UK becomes a constitutional republic of its own of a similar type to the US.
If the US just keeps adding countries as states, it's just building a new globalist empire isn't it? We aren't Canada or Greenland, we are far away.
King George joined the chat. 🤣🤣🤣
The UK needs a function constitution.
I agree.
Even if they have to pay a 'Tea Tax'. 😂
Kek! ☕
I don't want to add any new states because it will mess up our flag since we'd have to add another star for each new state.
It will start looking like a galaxy. 😂
I believe that we already own the commonwealth. This is just pro forma.
Gold
You may be right fren..
It does seem to be typical Trump.
He tries to get on with everyone no matter what their politics. The more people you know and the more contacts you have it just increases the number of deals you can make. I don't think it goes any further than that.
This….Good grief!
