Jolie closed her eyes and shook her head in disapproval, according to CNN, when she was asked about Trump’s remarks on Muslims, including his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S.

“To me, America is built on people from around the world coming together for freedoms, especially freedom of religion,” she said at a BBC event in London. “So it’s hard to hear this coming from someone who is pressing to be an American president.”

Trump proposed a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the country” after terror attacks in California and France last fall.

The controversial proposal comes as hundreds of thousands of Syrians flee a civil war in their country.

Jolie, a special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, compared the crisis to World War II, saying it was “that once-in-a-generation moment when nations have to pull together.”
