Trump suggests US could join British Commonwealth as “associate” member

As rhetoric ramps up about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, President Donald Trump appears to be open about America joining the British Commonwealth. Trump shared an article on his Truth Social platform which reported that King Charles may secretly offer an “associate membership” to the U.S. to join the Commonwealth. But as U.K. Constitutional law expert Craig Prescott explains, “essentially, you’re either a member of the Commonwealth or you’re not. There’s no precedent for associate membership or observer status or anything like that." Prescott breaks down what the U.S. joining the Commonwealth would look like.
