US EditionClooney responds after White House mocks his acting
Clooney said Trump’s threat to destroy Iran crossed a legal line as the White House mocked his acting in response.
- On Wednesday, actor George Clooney accused President Donald Trump of committing a "war crime" while addressing 3,000 high school students in Cuneo, Italy, condemning Trump's threat that a "whole civilization will die."
- President Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday that a "whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, prompting global alarm and subsequent ceasefire negotiations.
- White House Communications Director Steven Cheung attacked Clooney's acting on X, calling his work "awful," prompting the actor to demand "vigorous debate at the highest levels" instead of "infantile name-calling."
- Clooney cited the Genocide Convention and Rome Statute, arguing a war crime is alleged "when there is intent to physically destroy a nation," as the U.S. and Iran maintain a fragile two-week ceasefire.
- This exchange reflects an ongoing feud between Trump and Clooney; the actor also expressed concerns that dismantling NATO would undermine global security during the current crisis.
