The latest update on Mr Trump's willingness to invite the King to the US emerged as the President was flying back home on Air Force One.
The last time a British monarch visited the US was in 2007, when the late Queen Elizabeth was hosted by former US President George H. W. Bush.
Before acending to the throne, King Charles, as Prince of Wales, visited the US over 20 times over the course of his life.
His last visit was in 2018, when he represented the late Queen at George H. W. Bush's funeral.

Mr Trump bid his formal farewell earlier today, where he thanked the monarch for hosting his historic second state visit and hailed him as "great gentleman and a great King".
At the Sovereign's Entrance to the castle, the King and Mr Trump shook hands warmly at the top of the steps, with Mr Trump pulling the King's hand towards him and placing his other hand on top of Charles's.
Looking out towards the gathered media, the president declared, pointing at Charles: "Thank you very much, everybody. He's a great gentleman - a great gentleman and a great King."
Meanwhile, a royal source hailed Mr Trump's second state visit as a success, saying the president and first lady showed how much they appreciated the "awesome spectacle".
The president and his wife had been "very easy to deal with" throughout their stay at Windsor, the source added.
