Trump backs down from idea of banks collecting citizenship information

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
President Trump issued an executive order increasing scrutiny on non-citizens' banking activities, directing the Treasury to identify red flags related to tax evasion and illegal account ownership. The order is less extensive than a previous proposal requiring banks to collect citizenship data, which industry executives warned would be burdensome. Analysts view the changes positively, as they aim to maintain financial access while enhancing immigration controls.
