American actress Angelina Jolie said on Sept 21 she no longer recognises her country, voicing concern over threats to free expression while presenting her latest film at Spain's San Sebastian film festival.

Her comments come as worries grow over free speech in the United States, after President Donald Trump's crackdown on critical media and the recent suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's show over his comments on the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

"I love my country, but I don't at this time recognise my country," Jolie said when asked if she feared for freedom of speech in the US.
