In a surprise move, former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been granted Albanian citizenship, sparking questions about his motivations and potential implications for his future in politics. According to sources, Adams, who served as the 110th Mayor of New York City from 2021 to 2025, was awarded Albanian citizenship in a private ceremony earlier this year. The move comes as Adams has been rumored to be considering a presidential run in the United States, and some speculate that obtaining a second passport may be a strategic move to expand his global influence and connections. As Adams navigates his post-mayoral life, the Albanian citizenship could be just the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
