‘Sounds Good!’ Trump Signals Support for U.S. Joining Britain’s Commonwealth of Nations if Invited by King CharlesKurt Zindulka 22 Mar 2025
President Donald Trump has signalled a willingness to see the United States join Britain’s Commonwealth, a voluntary association comprised of mostly former British colonies led by King Charles III.
A report from the top-selling Sun newspaper in Britain claimed that President Trump would be presented with an offer from King Charles during his historic second state visit to the UK to join the Commonwealth of Nations.
The Commonwealth is a network of 56 nations, primarily drawn from former members of the British Empire, which aims to promote “mutually advantageous” relationships between independent nations based on shared heritage and common values.
At the heart of the group are 15 “Commonwealth Realms,” including the United Kingdom and other nations that still have King Charles as their Head of State, such as the Anglosphere nations of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, which already have close ties with the U.S. through the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network.
Responding to the article from The Sun on Friday evening, President Trump remarked on the reported plans to invite the United States to join the Commonwealth: “I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!”
The idea of inviting the United States to join the group was first floated during Trump’s first term in the White House. However, the plans were shelved during the presidency of Joe Biden, who was often described as one of America’s most anti-British presidents in modern history.
On the other hand, President Trump has been seen as one of the most pro-British presidents, having been an ardent ally of the Brexit independence movement and a staunch supporter of the Royal Family, particularly of Queen Elizabeth II. Trump, whose mother was born on the Scottish Isle of Lewis, is expected to become the first modern U.S. President to have two state visits to Britain after being invited last month by King Charles. The visit is expected to take place next year.
