Puerto Rico belongs to but, is not part of the United States
According to the United States Supreme Court Puerto Rico belongs to but is not part of the United States.[ https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=6444&context=faculty_scholarship]

There is no constitutional guaranty that U.S. citizenship will continue to be granted by Congress. The U.S. Constitution does not protect citizenship for Puerto Rico in the future. While it is the policy of Congress to continue to grant U.S. citizenship in the future, Congress does not have the power to bind a future Congress to that policy by statute. A future Congress can always change that policy, and might do so if, for example, Congress ever recognizes Puerto Rico as a separate nation with its own national citizenship as proposed by the commonwealth party. Even while U.S. administration continues, based on recognition of Puerto Rico as a nation in the legal and political sense, Congress could return to a policy similar to the practice before U.S. citizenship was granted in 1917 by ending conferral of U.S. citizenship for persons born in Puerto Rico.

Donald Trump allegedly declared that if elected, he will revoke the U.S. citizenship of all Puerto Ricans because they are “not part of the American race.”. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:44, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
