The prime minister said he had "acted in accordance with all the rules" when in possession of a US green card, which he only gave up in 2021 while he was chancellor.
A green card grants permanent residence in the US. Sunak obtained his while living in the US and retained it after moving back to the UK, including for six years while he was an MP.
He only gave it up in October 2021, before his first trip to the US as a UK government minister. His possession of the card, which was only revealed in 2022, led to suggestions that he was keeping his options open about returning to the US.
But speaking to the Sun's YouTube show Never Mind the Ballots, Sunak insisted he did not intend to move back to the US. "The UK is my home," he said. There has been speculation in Whitehall that Sunak is planning to move to California - where he and his wife, Akshata Murty, own an apartment in Santa Monica - if he loses the general election.
Sunak faced scrutiny during his time as chancellor over the revelation that Murty had non-dom status, meaning she was not liable for UK taxes on her overseas earnings.
