Best Answer

No, but it is free to make that choice.

----------------------------------------

Sort of "free" whatever that may mean to different people. Puertoricans can elect their Governor and Legislature, make limited trade with other countries, participate in International Sports events like the Olympics, Miss Universe etc. But do not have their own Currency, Passports and Military. It is a Territory of the United States. The people can choose between the current Political Status, Independence or Statehood.
