Is this even possible?

I receive dividends from foreign companies (ADRs) traded on the NYSE but am taxed 30% because I opened my account with my brokerage saying that I am a citizen of Country A, which does not have double tax treaties with the USA.

I am also a citizen of Country B, which has double tax treaty with the US. But I am currently working in Country A, which has an even lower tax rate than Country B. Is it possible to have a double-double tax agreement? I.e change my citizenship on my brokerage to B, and then have another agreement between A and B, so that I can receive country A's lower tax rates?

In summary: I am a dual citizen of country A and country B. Country B has a double tax treaty with USA Country A has a double tax treaty with Country B but not USA. I want to know if I can lower my 30% US foreign tax on incomes received from the US.

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
