"We can easily correct the 'bad' Supreme Court decision in Congress, through the legislative route," the US president wrote on the Truth Social platform.
The Supreme Court rejected Trump's attempt to challenge the right to citizenship by birth, which grants citizenship to all people born on United States territory.
United States President Donald Trump called on Congress today to end birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court struck down one of his top immigration policy priorities.
Trump criticized the Supreme Court's decision and asked Congress to help him implement one of his most important anti-immigration measures.
"The Supreme Court upheld the right to citizenship by birth, which is really bad for our country. However, we can easily correct this in Congress, through the legislative route," Trump wrote in a post on the Truth Social platform.

We recall that yesterday, the United States Supreme Court rejected an executive order by President Donald Trump that aimed to limit American citizenship for children born on US territory to parents without documents or with temporary visas.
The historic decision, made by 6 votes against and 3 votes in favor, protects the broad concept of "birthright citizenship" provided for by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.
The majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts states that children born in the US are "under the jurisdiction" of the country and have an automatic right to citizenship, regardless of the legal status of their parents.
Roberts was called upon to the history of the 14th Amendment after the Civil War and the Court's classic decision from 1898 in the Wong Kim Ark case.
Trump's executive order, signed on the first day of his second term, January 20, 2025, aimed to ban the recognition of citizenship for children of illegal immigrants or those with temporary residency.
It was part of a broader anti-immigration campaign, but was immediately blocked by lower courts and never came into effect.
