Art Garfunkel Says He’s Considering Leaving US Over Trump Presidency

Art Garfunkel, the renowned singer from the duo Simon & Garfunkel, is contemplating leaving the United States amid his dissatisfaction with the country's direction under President Donald Trump's administration. In an interview with The Guardian, the 84-year-old artist expressed his distress over several issues, including climate change, hunger, and the country's foreign policy, particularly the actions taken by the Trump administration in Venezuela.

Garfunkel criticized the US for intervening in the Venezuelan affairs, referring to it as "shocking." Despite his frustration, he acknowledged the changing nature of administrations, suggesting that Trump's tenure would not be permanent. Garfunkel's comments come eight months after the US captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and brought him to the US to face federal charges.

The singer's political remarks are part of a broader interview where he also discussed his return to performing, his relationship with Paul Simon, and their potential reunion. Garfunkel's concert tours, including his "What a Wonderful World" series, are set to continue later this month, with performances in various US states and later in Europe.
