Trump and Farage favorable to have US joining Commonwealth

A British lawmaker has expressed support for the idea of the United States potentially joining the Commonwealth in the future.

Nigel Farage, a far-right politician who led the Brexit campaign in 2016 with his party Reform UK, endorsed Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could one day become a member of the Commonwealth, a group primarily consisting of former British colonies.

Despite the War of Independence that divided the two nations, London and Washington have maintained strong diplomatic ties over the years.

"A Commonwealth with the USA would complete the alliance of the English-speaking peoples and help prevent the spread of CCP influence. I helped to launch the Royal Commonwealth Society of America in 2017," Farage wrote on X.

Last week, the U.S. President shared an article from The Sun claiming that King Charles III was preparing a "secret offer" for the White House, suggesting that the U.S. could be part of the Commonwealth.
