Greta Thunberg told to study economics by US treasury secretary
Steven Mnuchin takes swipe at activist’s call for immediate fossil fuel divestment
Donald Trump’s treasury secretary has dismissed Greta Thunberg’s call for immediate fossil fuel divestment, saying that the 17-year-old activist should go to college and study economics.
In a withering slapdown on the climate emergency movement, Steven Mnuchin pretended not to know who Thunberg was, before dismissing her concerns as ill-informed.
