Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its position on birthright citizenship, posting the announcement on Truth Social while also warning Iran that American strikes would escalate if attacks on ships did not stop.
The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship last month. Trump gave no further detail in his post about the legal grounds on which he intends to seek a review.
On Iran, Trump wrote that the US strikes were a direct response to attacks on vessels, adding that if Iran carried out further attacks, “things will get worse.” He said the intensity of American military action would increase if Iran did not halt its operations.
Trump made the posts on Wednesday while travelling back to the United States after attending a NATO summit in Turkey. He landed at RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom as part of his return journey.
