During a press conference at Spain's San Sebastin Film Festival, Angelina Jolie expressed her discontent with the current state of the United States.
When asked by a reporter about her fears as an artist and an American, Jolie reflected, "It is a very difficult question. I love my country, but at this time, I dont recognize my country. Ive always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life," as reported by The Guardian.
According to the Daily Caller, Jolie was in Spain to promote her latest film, "Couture," and used the opportunity to voice her concerns about the political and cultural atmosphere in the U.S., which she feels no longer aligns with her values. The actress, known for her humanitarian work and global perspective, emphasized the dangers of anything that "divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone."
Her international lifestyle, she noted, affords her the ability to distance herself from America when necessary.
Jolie's remarks underscore her commitment to a worldview that is "equal, united and international." She cautioned against making casual statements in what she described as "very, very heavy times we are living in together."
Despite her criticisms of President Donald Trump, Jolie's father, Jon Voight, remains a vocal supporter of the President and was appointed as a special ambassador to Hollywood earlier this year.
Jolie's comments highlight a broader cultural divide, as she navigates her role as both an American citizen and a global figure. Her perspective raises questions about the balance between national identity and international engagement, particularly in an era marked by political polarization and cultural shifts.
