Robert De Niro targeted Donald Trump
The 81-year-old actor criticized US President donald trump in his speech after receiving the award and called him a 'Palestinian President'. Speaking about the fight for democracy, he called for protests against him. De Niro said, "In my country, we are fighting fiercely for the democracy we once took for granted. It affects all of us because art is democratic."
He further added, "Art is truth. Art embraces diversity. And that is why art is a threat to the dictators and fascists of the world. The Palestinian president of the united states has appointed himself the head of America's premier cultural institution. He has cut funding and support for the arts, humanities, and education. And now he has announced a 100 percent tariff on films made outside the United States. You can't put a price on connectivity."
