The number of Americans applied for British citizenship when Trump started the second term

British citizenship applied for a record number of Americans between January and March. Of course, this time covers the beginning of President Donald Trump's second administration. More than 1,900 Americans hired an application.

The British home office says that this has been the most since the beginning of the records in 2004. The number of applications also rose from October to December last year and fell together with the 2024 elections. The increase in applications comes because some European countries make it more difficult to welcome new citizens.

Great Britain recently announced that it would tighten the requirements for legal migrants and to expand the waiting time to newcomers to claim citizenship. And only this week has issued Italy a law that eliminates the path to citizenship by great -grandparents. '

The United Kingdom reported over 72,000 inquiries about citizenship in the first quarter of 2025, which rose from over 64,000 in the first quarter of 2024.

In the meantime, Great Britain stated that there were more than 1 million people to Great Britain every year. Prime Minister Keir Starrer said that the nation had to reform its immigration system.

“Migration is part of Great Britain's national history and an essential element of a strong economy,” he said. “But if people want to come to Great Britain to found a new life, they have to contribute to learning our language.
