President Donald Trump On Friday, he expressed that he would consider an offer from King Charles to become part of the British Commonwealth.
"I Adore King Charles. That sounds great to me!" Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
Trump reacted to an exclusive report in DJOGDJA NEWS stating that the King planned to extend a special invitation to the president, offering the United States an opportunity to join as the next "associated member" of the Commonwealth.
