Trump to abolish birthright citizenship rule: Immigrants worried

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

US President-elect Donald Trump has said that he will abolish the birthright citizenship rule on the day he takes office.

The rule that gives US citizenship by birth on American soil will no longer exist. With Trump’s decision, concerns have increased among immigrants in the US.

Trump is taking the oath of office on January 20, 2025. The number of legal and illegal immigrants to the US has long been a topic of debate. Trump had raised this issue during his election campaign.

There are different rules for obtaining citizenship in the world. There is a law that automatically considers a person born on American soil to be an American citizen. After the Civil War, the US Congress enacted this rule in 1868. The rule was introduced to grant citizenship to everyone, including black people, who arrived in the US.

At that time, a provision was implemented to automatically grant citizenship to children born in the US. The rule does not matter whether the parents of such children are legal or illegal in the US.

This rule was originally introduced to make it easier for people who were brought to the United States as slaves.

Donald Trump and his supporters have been saying that the law that made it easier to grant citizenship to slaves is being misused. Therefore, they have been demanding new and strict laws for becoming American citizens.

Biden hits Russia with sanctions, shifts troops to Germany

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

President Joe Biden unleashed new sanctions against Russia and ordered the deployment of thousands of additional troops to NATO ally Germany.

He also acknowledged that the invasion — and efforts to thwart Putin — will have a cost for Americans. But he sought to reassure the public that the economic pain that may come with rising energy prices will be short-lived in the U.S.

Targeting Russia’s financial system, Biden said, the United States will block assets of Large Russian banks, impose export controls aimed at the nation’s high-tech needs and sanction its business oligarchs.

The president said the U.S. also will be deploying additional forces to Germany to bolster NATO after the invasion of Ukraine, which is not a member of the defense organization. Around 7,000 additional U.S. troops will be sent.

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will speak by phone on Thursday evening regarding the security issues between the two countries and the situation in Europe. This will be the second phone conversation between the two leaders in a month.

The US has threatened Mr Putin with sanctions “like none he’s ever seen” if Ukraine comes under attack, as Ukrainian officials reported more than 100000 Russian troops have been sent close on the border with Ukraine.A US official told, “Mr Biden will offer his Russian counterpart a “diplomatic path” but remains “gravely” concerned by the Russian troop build-up on the border.”

President Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said Moscow is “in the mood for a conversation”, regarding the issue. At the same time, the US has consulted European leaders to coordinate a common response to the Ukraine issue.
