‘Sounds good’: Trump on whether US might join British Commonwealth
- Donald Trump expressed interest in the US potentially joining the British Commonwealth, stating "Sounds good to me!" on Truth Social.
- This followed a Daily Mail report suggesting King Charles III plans to offer the US "associate membership" in the Commonwealth.
- The offer is expected to be formally extended during Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK, for which he has already received an invitation.
- Joining the Commonwealth could potentially ease tensions between the US, UK, and Canada, particularly regarding Trump's previous remarks about annexing Canada.
- If the US accepts the offer, diplomatic relations between Commonwealth nations would change, with ambassadors being replaced by high commissioners.
