THE SUN – The Royal proposal is said to potentially reduce tensions between the White House and Canada.
Plans are allegedly in the works to make the USA the next “associate member” of the Commonwealth.
The international association, which currently boasts 56 states, could welcome the US as a new member.

The US President revealed Canada could avoid higher taxes if it joined the United States of America as its 51 state.
Canada, of which the King is head of state, is part of the Commonwealth of Nations, and including America may dampen the current conflict.
Suggestions for the US to join the Commonwealth were first made during Trump’s first stint in the White House by the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) with the blessing of Queen Elizabeth.
Now in his second term of office, the proposal has been brought back, with members of the society crossing their fingers for the King to extend an invitation to Trump upon their next meeting.
A source told the Daily Mail: “This is being discussed at the highest levels.
