March 21, 2025 (EIRNS)—In the “what the hell?” department, President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account a link to an article from the U.K.’s The Sun promoting the story that King Charles intends to make a “secret offer” to Trump when he goes to the U.K. on a state visit, for the U.S. to join the British Commonwealth as an “associate member.” Trump commented on the link: “I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!”
According to The Sun: “Suggestions for the U.S. to join the Commonwealth were first made during Trump’s first stint in the White House by the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) with the blessing of Queen Elizabeth. Now in his second term of office, the proposal has been brought back, with members of the society crossing their fingers for the King to extend an invitation to Trump upon their next meeting. A source told the Daily Mail: `This is being discussed at the highest levels. It would be a wonderful move that would symbolize Britain’s close relationship with the U.S.” The unnamed source added: “Donald Trump loves Britain and has great respect for the Royal Family, so we believe he would see the benefits of this.”
