President Trump has renewed efforts to restrict birthright citizenship provisions, signing a new directive targeting foreign nationals who travel to the United States under tourist pretences while intending to give birth on American soil. This measure forms part of the administration's broader immigration policy tightening and could potentially affect Nigerians and other foreign nationals travelling to the country for childbirth purposes. Speaking to journalists in the Oval Office, the President characterised current birthright citizenship provisions as having been exploited and undermined. Constitutional provisions do not extend citizenship coverage to individuals not subject to US jurisdiction, such as children born to foreign diplomatic personnel.
