What is Puerto Rico of the us?

Puerto Rico is a unincorporated territory of the United States. This means that Puerto Rico is not a state of the United States, but it is still under the jurisdiction of the United States government. Puerto Ricans are American citizens, but they cannot vote in presidential elections and they do not have a voting representative in Congress.

Puerto Rico has been a United States territory since 1898, when it was acquired from Spain after the Spanish-American War. There have been several referendums held on the island to determine whether Puerto Rico should become a state of the United States, but none of them have resulted in a majority vote in favor of statehood.
