Actress, filmmaker and humanitarian Angelina Jolie said she doesn't recognize the United States anymore when asked by a Spanish film festival journalist what she was “afraid of as an artist and as an American” in the wake of President Donald Trump's latest attacks on free speech, reports The Hill.

Jolie, speaking at the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain in support of her latest movie Couture, said “It's obviously a very difficult question. Only to say, I love my country, but I don't at this time recognize my country."

The actress and former Goodwill Ambassador and then Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) from 2001 to 2022 reportedly has a strained relationship with her father, actor Jon Voight, is a vocal supporter of Trump.

Voight has praised Trump publicly for several years and was recently appointed by the president as a "special ambassador" to Hollywood.

Jolie, the mother of six children including three adopted from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, says "I’ve always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life. My worldview is equal, united, international, so anything anywhere that divides or, of course, limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone, I think, is very dangerous."

And though she didn't mention reently reinstated ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel by name, she did offer a not-so veiled acknowledgment of his situation.

"I think these are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually, so I'll be careful during a press conference," she continued, "but to say that, of course, like all of you and everyone watching, these are very, very heavy times we are living in together."
