The US Presidential Administration intends this week to introduce a rule against the law of the soil - the principle that allows anyone born in the United States to obtain citizenship of this country. This is reported by Axios, citing three unnamed officials.

According to the publication, the US Department of State employees will be entitled to refuse to foreigners in obtaining short-term tourist and business visas (category B), if they consider that they are going to the USA to automatically obtain citizenship.

How this rule will be applied is still unknown.. One senior official said that Visa issuers at the US Consulate “wonderfully” understand who lies when applying..

This is the first step of the US authorities aimed at the abolition of soil law, which is opposed by President Donald Trump. A similar rule can be extended to the customs and border services in the future, experts say.
