Record number of Americans applied for UK citizenship after Trump re-election

CNN  

CNN — Americans applied for British citizenship in record numbers last year, with a historically high volume of applications submitted in the last quarter of 2024 – a period coinciding with US President Donald Trump’s re-election. More than 6,100 US citizens applied for UK citizenship last year, the most since records began in 2004, when fewer than 3,000 Americans submitted an application, according to data from the UK’s Home Office. Applications by Americans soared in the last three months of 2024, when more than 1,700 people applied – the most in any quarter in the past two decades. And with Trump’s re-election in November last year leaving Americans around the world worried about what the next four years may bring, some communities have sniffed an opportunity.
