Neil Young's US citizenship sabotaged by Donald Trump: wife

Neil Young’s US citizenship was almost sabotaged by the Trump administration, according to his wife, Daryl Hannah.

Sitting down for an interview with the BBC, she said, "They tried every trick in the book to mess him up, and made him keep coming back to be re-interviewed and re-interviewed. It’s ridiculous [because] he’s been living in America and paying taxes here since he was in his 20s."

Young was originally born in Toronto, Canada, having entered the United States without a visa in 1966.

He went on to get his green card in 1970.

His path to becoming a citizen was delayed due to his use of marijuana, according to the singer. "I was asked many questions. I answered them truthfully and passed. Recently, however, I have been told that I must do another test, due to my use of marijuana and how some people who smoke it have exhibited a problem."

Going on tour to Europe, he admitted that he is afraid of not being able to return to the country, "When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminium blanket. That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America."
