Estatus político de Puerto Rico
The "Estatus político de Puerto Rico" refers to Puerto Rico's political status regarding its relationship with the United States. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated U.S. territory, meaning it is governed by U.S. federal laws but is not a state. Its residents are U.S. citizens but do not have voting representation in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections unless they reside in a U.S. state. Debates continue about whether Puerto Rico should become a state, maintain its current status, or pursue independence, reflecting differing opinions on its political, economic, and cultural future.
