US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin takes swipe at 17-year-old Greta Thunberg via YahooFinance
DAVOS, SWITZERLAND — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin dismissed Greta Thunberg’s call for private and public sector divestment from fossil fuel companies, telling Yahoo Finance at a press briefing: “After she goes and studies economics in college she can come back and explain that to us.”President Trump and Thunberg have made alternating climate-related remarks at this week’s World Economic Forum, appearing to refer to the other indirectly.
Mnuchin noted that the Trump administration did have concerns about the environment, but had other plans for it. “What the president objects to is the Paris agreement,” Mnuchin added. “The reason why the president objected to the Paris agreement was he thought it was an unfair agreement to the US. This is nothing against China and India but the real environmental issues right now are in both those countries. If you look at the US and what we’ve done relative to rest of world US thought it was an unfair agreement.
