Barron and Melania Trump’s US citizenship explained as MAGA ally threatens their status

Both Melania and her son Barron Trump have dual citizenship with the US and Slovenia

Ohio MAGA senator Bernie Moreno’s controversial new bill could directly affect US President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, and their son, Barron.

Moreno, who was born in Colombia and became a US citizen at 18, has introduced a bill that would make dual nationals give up their other citizenship and submit ‘exclusive allegiance’ to the United States.

Such a move would leave the first lady, Melania and 19-year-old Barron, without their Slovenian passports.

Republican Moreno detailed his plan, titled ‘Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025’, earlier this week on 1 December.

In short, the proposed bill would force anyone with dual citizenship to choose between the two countries.
