Joining of the United States of America would be a matter for the US Congress to decide, and not something the UK Government or Parliament could unilaterally do.

Background
First, economic opportunity. Joining the United States could provide the UK with access to one of the world’s largest economies without the complexities of negotiating trade deals.
Second, political stability. The UK has experienced significant political uncertainty in recent years. Becoming part of the United States could offer long-term political certainty and stability by aligning with a globally influential and economically powerful nation.
Third, enhanced defense and global influence.
