Videos captured show the activist glaring at US President Donald Trump, giving him an icy cold stare as he arrived at the UN. Several people have been tweeting the moment, sharing their reaction to the death stare.
“Greta Thunberg giving Donald Trump a death stare is the highlight of 2019 so far,” says a Twitter user. “Has there ever been more of a death stare than this from Greta Thunberg to Donald Trump?” says another.
