WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – U.S. President ​Donald ‌Trump signed executive orders on Thursday ‌targeting ​birthright ⁠citizenship, a ⁠month after the U.S. Supreme Court ​rejected the ⁠Republican ⁠president’s bid ​to restrict ​the practice.

The orders ‌expand the definitions of people ⁠who are ineligible for birthright ⁠citizenship ‌and ⁠ban “birth tourism”.
