I think they can only be granted citizenship if one of the parents is a US citizen.

No.

Trump changed a whole lot's of things.

You can't even book, go to US and deliver your Baby and he or she becomes Citizen let alone you deliver on the Embassy.

You must go there, reside there for a minimum of six months.

This is a lie. Birthright citizenship is ingrained in all of the Americas.

LIES! To alter the birth citizenship will require a constitutional change. Trump could not achieve it.

Have you heard this word before EXECUTIVE ORDER?

An executive order from the President in a Presidential government structure is the same as law.

Incorrect.

Remember Julian Assange? He was at one point leaving in the Embassy of Ecuador. No one could touch him. You know why? Because the embassy is an annex of a country and Ecuadorian laws apply.

An executive order is not a binding law across the US. The next president can cancel/over-rule it, and it becomes void (Biden has over-ruled many of such orders). So, please stop misinforming the public. Moreover, Trump who you referenced AIMS to do so if he wins next year. During his first term, he threatened the same, but did not gave the order because legally, it is impossible unless the case gets to the Supreme Court where it becomes decided.

True.
Re: Will Children Born In American Embassy Be Given US Citizenship? by ttmacoy: 3:49pm On Oct 13, 2023
That's not true. If the parents are US military personnel posted abroad yes they will be citizens, but you can't just go visit someone on the base abroad and give birth and think your child will become a US citizen.

Same with embassy.

No.

US embassies are not considered US soil, so if a child was born in the US embassy, citizenship rules for a child born abroad would apply. If the parents are not Americans, then the child will NOT become a US citizen.

Most importantly, the embassy is NOT considered to be "U.S. soil," legally. The Embassy is property of the US government, and it's considered to be untouchable by diplomatic treaties, but these treaties do not go so far as to confer jus soli (citizenship by birth) to people who are born therein, since the determination of citizenship falls under nationality laws and NOT diplomatic protocols.
