As a European it makes me proud to get a direct shout out from Linus 🫶🏻

Wouldn’t he have had to renounce his Finnish citizenship to be naturalised?

You can be a citizen of multiple countries at the same time, as long as all of them allow dual/multiple citizenship.

The US used to require new citizens to renounce other nationalities, and I haven’t heard of them changing this. Rupert Murdoch had to renounce his Australian citizenship when he became a US citizen in the 80s. I think Linus was naturalised in the 90s or 00s, so not too long after.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/Dual-Nationality-Travelers.html says that dual citizenship is allowed. From that page:

How Do You Get Dual Nationality? ... Naturalizing as a U.S. citizen while keeping the nationality of another country.

Wikipedia says:

Since 1990, the State Department has allowed multiple nationalities.[130] Official policy is one of recognition that such a status exists, but the U.S. government does not endorse a policy of having multiple nationalities, though it is permitted.[151]
