At the end of June, the US Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to limit the right to citizenship for people born in the country.

Now Trump says he will request a review of the court's decision, which he calls "crazy".

In the US, children of foreign citizens can receive US citizenship if they are born in the country, which the Trump administration has opposed. However, the Supreme Court recently blocked an attempt to change this.

"The Supreme Court's ruling is wrong. I will immediately request a new review," Trump writes on his Truth Social platform.

A request for review is very rarely granted and must be submitted within 25 days of a decision.
