Being a party to the Schengen Agreement, Malta gives US citizens visa-free entry for up to 90 days for business and tourism purposes, but to obtain citizenship a residency requirement has to be met first by applying for one program from a bunch of different residence schemes being offered. For getting citizenship, one must be a permanent resident for six years, of which four consecutive years should be spent in Malta. You can also apply for Maltese citizenship by birth and descent, by adoption or by marriage. Another route culminating into citizenship starts by obtaining a work permit followed by a residence permit and lastly filing of application.
