President Donald Trump said Supreme Court decisions on tariffs and birthright citizenship had cost the United States “trillions” of dollars. His comments underscore his continued frustration with judicial limits on parts of his economic and immigration agenda, while also suggesting he believes Congress could act on birthright citizenship.
Fox News reported that the court upheld birthright citizenship by a 5–4 vote. A constitutional lawyer cited in the article said the 14th Amendment generally guarantees citizenship to people born in the United States, including children of undocumented parents, although stricter border enforcement could reduce so-called “birthright tourism”.
