does puerto rico have a president

Puerto Rico does not have its own president. Instead, the President of the United States is also considered the president of Puerto Rico, since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory under the sovereignty of the United States. As of 2025, the President of the United States and thus the President of Puerto Rico is Donald J. Trump. Locally, Puerto Rico has its own governor, who is the head of the government of the territory. The current governor, since January 2025, is Jenniffer González-Colón. The governor is elected by the people of Puerto Rico and has authority over local matters, but the ultimate chief of state is the U.S. President.
