From Birthrights to Aid Freezes: Ethiopia Caught in Trump’s Policy Crossfire

From Birthrights to Aid Freezes: Ethiopia Caught in Trump’s Policy Crossfire

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders that have significant implications for both domestic and international affairs. Two notable actions include the termination of birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens and a 90-day freeze on foreign aid to all countries. These measures are poised to impact nations like Ethiopia, both in terms of their citizens residing in the U.S. and the aid they receive.

Termination of Birthright Citizenship

The executive order aims to end the automatic granting of U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil to non-citizen parents, including those on temporary visas or without legal status. This policy shift challenges the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which has traditionally conferred citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Legal experts anticipate significant constitutional challenges to this order, as the Supreme Court has historically upheld birthright citizenship.

For Ethiopian nationals in the U.S., this policy could have profound effects. Children born to Ethiopian parents who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents may no longer automatically acquire U.S. citizenship. This change could lead to an increase in stateless individuals, complicating their legal status and access to services. Moreover, it may deter Ethiopians from traveling to or residing in the U.S. on temporary visas, impacting educational and professional opportunities.
