President Trump of the United States issues new directives restricting birthright citizenship.

One of Mr. Trump's orders aims to prevent individuals who participate in commercial "birth tourism" from entering the nation.



Weeks after the Supreme Court overturned his direction, U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders to restrict birthright citizenship eligibility and combat birth tourism.

One order that Mr. Trump signed on Thursday, August 6, 2026, aims to prevent those who participate in commercial "birth tourism" from entering the nation.

The other broadens the list of those who it claims are not eligible for birthright citizenship, including offspring of foreign nationals who work as lobbyists for foreign governments.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the more than a century-old belief that almost everyone born in the United States is a citizen on June 30 by overturning Trump's executive order attempting to abolish birthright citizenship.

Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office following the signing of the executive orders, Mr. Trump attacked the Supreme Court for its June 30 order, claiming that the new action was intended to "make adjustments."

"The Supreme Court rendered a very regrettable ruling regarding birthright; it was a tight call, but it was extremely regrettable. The President stated, "So we're making adjustments."

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller were on either side of him.

The US Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, which was ratified on July 9, 1868, gave citizenship to everyone born or naturalized in the country, including freed slaves.

This was carried out immediately following the Civil War. What's going on now? This was for slave infants. Businesses are being built around it, according to Mr. Trump.
