# Trump revives US push to restrict birthright citizenship 2026-08-06T23:50:44+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet US President Donald Trump has signed two executive actions seeking to restrict birthright citizenship and curb so-called birth tourism, despite the Supreme Court rejecting his earlier attempt in June. One order targets eligibility for citizenship for some children born in the United States. The other seeks tighter visa restrictions for visitors who travel to give birth there. The measures focus on children of people entering the US for birth tourism, and may also cover children of foreign government employees and people classified as alien enemies, India Today reports. The White House says the orders are narrower than the earlier directive, but legal challenges are expected. The 14th Amendment has generally been read as granting citizenship to nearly everyone born on US soil, with limited exceptions. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - indiatoday.in Tags: birth tourism, birthright citizenship, Donald Trump, Supreme Court, US immigration Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-renews-bid-to-restrict-us-birthright-citizenship/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
