Veteran actor Robert De Niro, during his acceptance speech at Cannes 2025, criticised US President Donald Trump. "In my country, we're fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted," he said. "That's why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists. America's philistine president...has cut funding and support to the arts, humanities and education," De Niro added.
