My priority on foreign policy is to keep America safe: US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump, while signing executive orders in his Oval Office on Tuesday, said that he may consider ordering US special forces into Mexico to take out cartels. “Could happen, stranger things have happened,” Trump remarked.

Trump took executive action on the names of US landmarks, including renaming Denali and the Gulf of Mexico, a move that his White House described as one that “honours American greatness,” CNN reported.

Trump’s executive order to immediately end the use of an app that facilitated the legal entry of migrants into the United States left many waiting at the Mexico-US border feeling disillusioned and defeated.

The US president stated that his foreign policy was simple: “My priority on foreign policy is going to be to keep America safe. Very simple.”

A statement from Trump’s office said, “The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift,” elaborating on his stance on border issues.

The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” the statement explained.

Among the categories of individuals born in the US and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States when their mother was unlawfully present in the United States, and their father was not a US citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of birth, or when the mother’s presence in the US at the time of birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting under the Visa Waiver Program or on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a US citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of birth, according to the statement.
