One of the decrees aims to regulate the right to citizenship for children born in the United States to mothers who are temporarily in the country for the purpose of giving birth to their children there, it says. Trump calls the phenomenon “citizenship tourism.”
The second is to limit the number of children who can become American citizens at birth.
In June, the US Supreme Court rejected Trump's previous executive order to revoke the right to automatic citizenship at birth, a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
According to AP, the president's focus this time is narrower, and the order applies to certain categories of people. Among these are children of adults with connections to foreign embassies.
Attempts to restrict citizenship rights have been, and continue to be, one of the cornerstones of the Trump administration's campaign against irregular migrants in the United States.
