US EditionSupreme Court agrees to decide if Trump may end birthright citizenship
- On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review President Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship and will hear arguments next year, likely deciding by the end of June.

- Despite being considered fringe by many conservatives, the dispute will draw considerable public focus to the Court term as legal observers note the court's conservative majority often avoids clashes with President Donald Trump.
