On 30 October the US President Donald J. Trump gave an interview claiming that “We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States … with all of those benefits“. Following his declaration, several users and media outlets accessed the Global Birthright indicators on our website. The Swiss newspaper Le Temps also features a short interview with one of our co-directors, Rainer Bauböck.
