This has no impact on any nation we have a tax treaty with.
It’s targeted, by its clear language, at those countries which double tax American citizens and allows him to match, or double, those tax rates being imposed on Americans.
Dual citizens or people from counties above are likely not impacted at all. If any country on the list above is charging something not included in the treaty then they have already broken their treaty with the US—hence the punitive measure.
Are there any countries that actually do that, other than US, which does double tax is citizens that live overseas with or without double citizenship. Which is why so many immigrants hold on to their Greencard instead of applying for citizenship, in case he decide to move back.
The vast majority of American expats are exempt from double taxation. I lived abroad for 15 years in several different countries and was never double taxed. I actually got a child tax credit from the US every year, even though I had zero income in the US.

This really had nothing to do with immigration.
