Not quite. You`re at risk of losing your US citizenship if you hold a high level government position in another country... But it`s hard to give up your US citizenship even if you WANT to.
The only situation I can think of where you would actually directly lose it would be serving in the military of a country in conflict with the US.

In any other situation, you have to actually choose to give it up.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
