President Donald Trump is considering an offer from King Charles III for the United States to join the Commonwealth of Nations as an associate member. The offer is expected to be formally extended during Trump’s planned state visit to the UK, and Trump has expressed his enthusiasm for the idea, stating „I Love King Charles“ and „Sounds good to me!“ The possibility of the US joining the Commonwealth is being discussed at the highest levels, with some seeing it as a way to smooth over tensions between the US, UK, and Canada. If the US were to join, it could potentially reshape the diplomatic relationship between the US and Canada, and would likely involve changes to the way the countries exchange diplomatic representatives. The Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 56 nations, most of which are former British colonies, could potentially become an even more important global organization if the US were to join, even as an associate member.
As long as that doesn’t mean the U.S. gets a king! UK/US/CAN/AUS should stick together..
This could be a genius move by King Charles.
A plot twist, we in the international affairs, never expected.
I mean, why not, I Guess?
Can anyone explain why KC3 is offering this?
This could serve as a good off-ramp for Trump, and he seems receptive to the idea
The empire is so back
Knowing Trump, he might demand it be renamed American commonwealth
I don’t think he’s read the membership requirements. The US isn’t going to agree to them, and accepting them anyway is just going to devalue the principals the alliance stands for. Besides The US has proven to not be honourable in treaty negotiations.
Noooo Australia don’t need this kind of competition at the Commonwealth Games.
Sure I guess? If it stops tariffs and threats of sovereignty as well as increase trade and cooperation there is no downsides to this.
Hopefully this ends up well but I know I am having wishful thinking.
So leave NATO and join the Commonwealth? What’s the advantage of this when you’re already a superpower? And doesn’t it undermine the US historical independence from British rule?
Trump will tell Charles that the US will join but only if he gets to be king.
This is certainly an interesting turn of events.
Of course Trump would call this a great idea. It’s not like he’s ever read a history book. Specifically the part where America told Britain to kick rocks as we dumped their tea into the harbor, tarred and feathered their representatives, and had a little revolutionary war to establish our independence…
Trump is so mentally unwell it’s incredible really
Now this is just taking advantage of the mentally ill. Hey Donald you remember that whole independence thing the US did right?
Cue “you’ll be back” from the Hamilton musical
So we’ll stop celebrating the 4th right?
“P-please h-honor your NATO c-commitments s-sir”
“Shut your goofy old world eurotrash ass up”
“Bow, colonial. NOW”
“Yes my king. And glory to the Empire”
What a time to be alive.
That’s unconstitutional since the president is specifically the head of state. He can’t subordinate himself to the crown.
As an American… if this makes Trump chill TF out , good.
Is this real or satire? I can’t tell…
This timeline is messed up.
Doe an associate membership still require us to recognize King Charles as our monarch and head of state? Confused on that part
It makes sense that the Trump admin would start offering carrots to favored countries. I wouldn’t be surprised if Norway gets some attention.
This is the only part of the article that actually addresses what this would mean:
> If membership is offered and accepted, no longer would America send an ambassador to the Court of St James as it has done since John Adams presented his credentials to King George III in June 1785. Washington’s emissary to Ottawa would no longer be an ambassador, either, and neither would the top diplomats sent by the U.K. or Canada to the U.S. That’s because Commonwealth nations appoint “high commissioners” to represent each other’s interests in their respective capitals.
I know it’s intended to be largely symbolic, but is renaming the ambassadors to „high commissioners“ the only change that would happen or is there more to it than that?
If there are expectations on the US about what this would mean, they’d better be made crystal clear up front, and even then you can’t count on Trump simply not disregarding them on a whim.
I would have rather seen the Commwealth evolve into something meaningful than hollowed out entirely.
