It doesn’t matter if you are a U.S. citizen. What matters is where you actually live. If you live in the U.S. (or, as tax accountants say, you are a U.S. resident for tax purposes), you pay the same taxes as other U.S. residents (income tax on dividends and capital gains tax on realized capital gains). If you live outside the U.S., your broker will withhold U.S. income taxes from dividends you receive (if your country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S., you will receive a tax credit for that), while capital gains will not be taxed in the U.S. at all.
