"The relationship between Washington and Moscow can be cold, but the Russian middle class decided that after one birthday present, it's worthwhile to go to the US - for American citizenship," write Rice Blakely and Tom Parfitt, correspondents of The Times.

In Florida, the profitable industry of "parent tourism" thrives, and future mothers from Russia flock to this state before giving birth, the article says..

"Specialists in clinics say that the benefits of having a baby in the US include benevolent nurses and rest from Russian weather. However, the main stimulus remains unnamed - American citizenship for the child and potentially for the whole family, "- writes the publication.

"During the election campaign, President Trump demanded an end to the practice of automatically granting US citizenship to all children born there," remind journalists.

However, according to local experts on real estate, just apartments in buildings under the brand "Trump" are popular among wealthy Russians who come to give birth in a sunny state.

One Russian, who appears to have lived in Trump Royale, posted photos of Russian and American passports of his newborn daughter with a signature in the social network: "Hurray!" Double citizenship!.

The birth of a child and the residence of the three months in the Trump building can cost 80 thousand. dollars. A more modest placement reduces costs to about 20 thousand. , notes the publication.

"Crowds of pregnant girls come here and then take with them a crowd of young Americans," wrote a Russian woman in the blog who gave birth to a child in Miami.
