That's an outright lie.
Charlene III sent him a letter with an offer and Trump was asked to comment on it.
I'm suspicious as to whose idea it is.
Regardless, it's spurned on by Trump's offensive desire for Canada and Greenland.
Here's the original, first breaking story from March 20th.
Btw, there's no such thing as an "associate" membership to the Commonwealth.
That is an entirely NEW conceptualisation for this purpose.
this plot goes back to at least 2017. Phil Bryant and Cory L. with Camilla at Buckingham.
It's probably a mutual idea, but...
"Bryant shared the story of that November 2017 meeting in London this past July at
the launch of his latest United Kingdom-related initiative named World4Brexit, a U.S.-based dark-money group that supports the United Kingdom's expected exit from the European Union. An attendee provided the Jackson Free Press with a video of the governor's until-now-unreported remarks. Former Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski was among those in attendance."
"I'm also the chairman of the Royal Commonwealth Society USA," the
Mississippian said, referring to an organization he launched in Jackson in 2017.
"Is America back in the Commonwealth?" the royal replied.
"Well, part of it is, and I'm in charge of it," Bryant said.
"Well, carry on," the heir to the
British throne said.
Republican Phil Bryant is certainly not the first Mississippi governor to support a state's plan to secede from a multi-state union. ... But Bryant seems to be the first to entangle himself in a foreign U.S. ally's own secession effort.

Richard Eden, Daily Mail, is the one who broke the story on 20 March. The next day, he provided an explanation due to the public shock:
I can reveal that Queen Camilla has had an influential, behind-the-scenes role in laying the groundwork for today's stunning announcement.
"Andy Wigmore, a key ally of Nigel Farage and friend of President Trump, told me today: 'Governor Phil Bryant, then Governor of Mississippi, a massive Anglophile, and his team came to Buckingham Palace and met Camilla when she was Duchess of Cornwall. They talked about the Commonwealth at length, about its significance, at a Palace reception. For Governor Bryant, that was amazing. He said, "She wants the Commonwealth to happen in America".'
