"This country is part of my life," Brosnan said, adding, "I’m an American citizen. I love America and America’s been very good to me. And I want to see happiness come back into our society."

Brosnan, an environmentalist, added that Trump "has to pay attention to the climate change. He has to support the rallying call of the young people," adding, "He has to get out of the coal business, the oil business. It’s just devouring the Earth around us. And there are other ways. We’ve seen it from other societies, other cultures."
