Michelle Obama has expressed her support for Greta Thunberg after the environmental activist faced a verbal attack from Donald Trump.

While many celebrated the Swedish teenager’s title, US president Trump launched a scathing attack on Twitter against the 16-year-old, writing: “So ridiculous. Greta must work on her anger management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, chill.”

Thunberg has received numerous messages of support from people across the globe, including one from the former US first lady.

“@GretaThunberg, don’t let anyone dim your light,” Obama tweeted.

“Like the girls I’ve met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all.

“Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on.”
