President Donald Trump criticized France on Wednesday for granting citizenship to Hollywood actor George Clooney and his family.
An official decree on Monday confirmed the 64-year-old Oscar winner, his wife Amal, and their two children are now French citizens. The decision was first called a "double standard" by a junior official in Paris.
Trump then commented on the news. His administration has previously supported anti-immigration parties in Europe.
"France is welcome to the Ocean’s Eleven star," Trump said, referencing Clooney's famous film role. The remark continued his criticism of the citizenship grant.
