President Trump on Monday said he will accept the birthright citizenship decision given by the Supreme Court.

"I guess I have to accept it. It is the Supreme Court. I think it is very bad for our nation, we are the only nation that does it," Trump said, while speaking to correspondents.

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to deny automatic citizenship to many children born in the United States to parents who were in the country illegally or temporarily.

According to the court's majority opinion, children born in the United States to such parents remain citizens at birth under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the court's three liberal justices.
