   • 27 June 2025, Amanda Frost, “L’offensive de Donald Trump contre le droit du sol sert à asseoir son autorité en mettant en question la citoyenneté de tous les Américains”, in Le Monde‎^[1], archived from the original on 27 June 2025:

     Déjà, au moment de leur fondation, la question de la citoyenneté tiraille les Etats-Unis – un sujet sensible dans un pays composé de tribus autochtones, d’immigrés originaires de l’Europe, ainsi que de leurs descendants, et, pour 20 %, de populations réduites en esclavage.

     From the very beginning, the question of citizenship was a source of tension in the United States – a sensitive issue in a country made up of Indigenous tribes, European immigrants and their descendants, and a population that was, in part, 20 percent enslaved.

• In France, citoyenneté is closely tied to nationalité, but some rights of citoyenneté (such as voting in local and European elections) may be granted to EU nationals who are not French citizens.
