Well this US Law Firm on their website state
Generally, people consider the term national as a synonym for the term citizen, and vice versa. However, the two terms have different meanings. The main difference between national and citizen is that nationality relates to the place you are born, and citizenship relates to title given to you by the government of a state after you fulfill the legal formalities.
It goes on with the differences between National & Citizen.

Some people get hung up on descriptors others don’t care.

Anyone born in the unincorporated territories of Puerto Rico (starting in 1917), U.S. Virgin Islands (starting in 1927), or Guam (starting in 1950), is also a U.S. citizen. Someone born in the unincorporated territories of American Samoa or Swains Island, however, is not a U.S. citizen by right of territorial birth but is a U.S. national. Individuals born in Guam between 1898 and 1950, in Puerto Rico between 1898 and 1917, in the US Virgin Islands between 1917 and 1927, or in the Philippines between 1898 and 1946, would also be a U.S. national but not a U.S. citizen, unless citizenship was inherited from his or her parents.
