What is a difference between Puerto Rico and the US? A) States in the US have electoral votes for the presidential election, but
Puerto Rico does not. B) The US president is the leader of the US but not of Puerto Rico. C) English is spoken in the US but not in Puerto Rico. D) Puerto Rico was an important military outpost for Spain but had little military value when the US became involved in Puerto Rico.
The political status of Puerto Rico is that of an unincorporated territory of the United States. As such, the island of Puerto Rico is neither a sovereign nation nor a U.S. state. On the other hand, in contrast to U.S. states, only some residents of Puerto Rico are subject to federal income taxes.
