Trump slams US birthright citizenship ruling with sarcastic social post aimed at China

Following a US Supreme Court ruling upholding birthright citizenship in the country, US President Donald Trump took to social media to sarcastically congratulate Chinese President Xi Jinping and China. Trump’s post revived controversy about “birth tourism”, which claims that Chinese nationals exploit American laws to gain citizenship for their children. However, available data indicates that cases where pregnant women enter the United States primarily to give birth are extremely rare.
