In a surprise move, former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been granted Albanian citizenship, according to reports. Adams, who served as the 110th Mayor of New York City from 2021 to 2025, has maintained a strong connection to the city's Albanian-American community throughout his career. The exact circumstances surrounding his citizenship are unclear, but it's believed to be a result of his heritage - Adams' mother, Dorothy Simpson, was of Albanian descent. As Adams navigates this new development, questions arise about its potential implications for his future in politics and his ties to the United States.
