Trump issues order limiting US birthright citizenship
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order tightening the procedures for obtaining American citizenship by birth, aiming to reduce the phenomenon of "birth tourism," which involves women entering the United States with the purpose of giving birth to their children in order to acquire citizenship. Although U.S. law does not explicitly prohibit this practice, a federal regulation that came into effect in 2020 prevents the use of tourist or business visas if the primary purpose is to obtain citizenship. Estimates indicate that between 20,000 and 25,000 women entered the United States annually during 2016-2017 for this reason, with the country recording 3.6 million births in 2025.
