Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg yesterday renewed a feud with Donald Trump, saying the outgoing US president "seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future".

The teenager was reversing a barb that Trump – who frequently disputes the science behind climate change – had aimed at her in 2019 when he wrote on Twitter that "she seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future".
