Trump Ends Birthright Citizenship in US
President Trump signed an order to end birthright citizenship in the US.
This means that babies born in the country won't automatically get US citizenship anymore.
Trump thinks this rule was only meant for the children of slaves and not for rich people coming from other countries.
He believes it's too expensive for the country to give citizenship to everyone born here.
The Supreme Court will decide if this order is allowed.
Trump is worried that if the Court says no, it will be a very bad decision.
Trump signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship in the US.
The order affects children born 30 days after January 20, 2025.
Trump argues the 14th Amendment was meant for the children of slaves, not rich immigrants.
The Supreme Court is expected to make a final ruling on the order.
Trump believes the policy is an unsustainable burden on public resources.
