The law banning dual citizenship in the United States will affect Melania Trump

Republican Senator Bernie Moreno's new bill could strip a number of American celebrities of their dual citizenship. This was reported by Newsweek magazine on December 2.

"Being a U.S. citizen is an honor and a privilege, and if you want to be an American, then it's all or nothing <...> It was an honor for me to take the oath of allegiance to the United States of America and only the United States of America. It's time to end dual citizenship forever," the senator said.

The publication says that the proposal implies a complete ban on dual citizenship. It is reported that Melania, the wife of US President Donald Trump, and her son Barron, who have Slovenian citizenship, fall under the bill. If the law is passed, American citizens will have to renounce one of their citizenship within a year from the date of publication.
