Art Garfunkel Considers Leaving US

Musician Art Garfunkel, 84, has stated he is considering leaving the United States due to concerns about the current administration under President Donald Trump, global warming, and the nation's foreign policy. The eight-time Grammy winner shared his thoughts in a recent interview with The Guardian, published on September 4, 2026. Garfunkel expressed his dissatisfaction with the country's direction, saying, "I don't like America's position at all. I'm not aboard, and I'm thinking of leaving the country, frankly." His concerns extend beyond political leadership to broader environmental issues, including rising global temperatures, increasing water levels, and widespread hunger. A significant point of concern for Garfunkel is the Trump administration's actions in Venezuela. He questioned the implications of the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026, and brought him to the United States to face federal charges.
