U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory located in the Caribbean. It is an unincorporated territory, meaning it is under U.S. sovereignty but not part of any state. 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. Puerto Rico has its own local government and constitution, managing many aspects of daily life. Its economy relies on sectors like manufacturing, services, and tourism. The relationship between Puerto Rico and the U.S. continues to be a subject of political discussion and debates about its future status.
