Iconic Jewish singer and actress Barbra Streisand has threatened to relocate to Australia if Republican nominee Donald Trump wins the US presidential elections in November.

In an interview with Australian TV, Streisand, who has endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, said she was “astounded” by Trump’s popularity and hoped that his supporters would “come back to sanity.”

“He has no facts. I don’t know, I can’t believe it. I’m either coming to your country, if you’ll let me in, or Canada,” Streisand told 60 minutes journalist Michael Usher in the interview.

Usher replied that she would be “very welcome.”

Last week, Streisand performed a duet with “Trump” on Jimmy Fallon’s on “The Tonight Show.”

“It’s sort of nice to see you in person,” Streisand said.

“Together we’re going to make duets great again!” Fallon’s Trump declares.

The pair went on to sing a comedic rendition of “Anything You Can Do” that skewered many of Trump’s statements from the campaign trail, including his intention of building a wall along the Mexican border.

Streisand is in the middle of a tour in support of her 35th album, “Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway.” She mocked Trump repeatedly during the tour’s first concert.
