Trump signs new executive orders seeking to limit US birthright citizenship

President Donald Trump signed two new executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship in the United States, following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his earlier attempt to reinterpret the 14th Amendment. The new orders focus on narrowing exceptions to automatic citizenship, including excluding children of foreign diplomats, alleged terrorists, and individuals involved in 'birth tourism.' These measures are expected to face legal challenges. Trump criticized the Supreme Court for its decision, claiming it undermined birthright citizenship, while the court emphasized that the Citizenship Clause does not support his interpretation. This marks another significant legal challenge for Trump during his second term.
