'I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!,' the US President posted on his Truth Social account.

The surprising post comes after it was reported King Charles would reportedly make a “secret offer” to Trump when he visits the UK.

The Royal Family is reportedly hoping to reduce tensions between Canada and the United States, after Mr Trump repeatedly suggested he may annex his neighbouring ally.

It comes after Sir Keir Starmer dramatically revealed Mr Trump had been invited by the King to the UK for a historic second state visit during his meeting with the president at the White House.

King Charles will reportedly invite the United States to become the next "associate member" of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth, whose nations have a total population of more than 2.7billion, is one of the world's oldest political associations.

The origins of the Commonwealth come from Britain's former Empire.

According to their website: "Many of the members of the Commonwealth were territories which had historically come under British rule at various times by settlement, conquest or cession.

"The administration of such colonies evolved in different ways, to reflect the different circumstances of each territory."

A source told the Daily Mail: "This is being discussed at the highest levels.

"It would be a wonderful move that would symbolise Britain's close relationship with the US.

"Donald Trump loves Britain and has great respect for the Royal Family, so we believe he would see the benefits of this."
