Greta Thunberg says Arnold Schwarzenegger offered to lend him his electric car

Address of Greta Thunberg in the United States has become the talk heard around the world this week. Thunberg has addressed hundreds of world leaders and, while President Trump seemed impressed 16-year-old climate activist, another US politician wants to help him.

Thunberg said this week that former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had offered to lend him his electric car. In the Scandinavian talk show "Skavlan", Thunberg reveals the governor's offer.

In the video clip, Thunberg speaks in his native Swedish language and informs his host Fredrik Skavlan that many people have offered to help him. "One of the funniest offers I've received is that Arnold Schwarzenegger offered to lend his electric car if I wanted to," she said, according to a translation of Newsweek.

In 2017, Schwarzenegger is associated with the electric mobility company Kreisel to develop an electric Hummer. CBS News has contacted the Schwarzenegger representatives for more details on its car loan offer in Thunberg.

The teenager will continue her climatic crusade in Montreal and we could see her see her navigate in an electric Hummer.

This is not the first time that Schwarzenegger has showed his support for Thunberg. In 2018, the actor turned politician tweeted how Thunberg had inspired him. The two men finally met in May 2019 at a climate conference in Austria. Schwarzenegger shared a photo of himself with Thunberg, saying that he was "starstruck".

In another clip released before the "Skavlan" interview, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore joins Thunberg on the stage. Skavlan, Thunberg and Moore discuss the controversial relationship between teenager and President Trump, which took place in front of the world on social media this week while both attended the General Assembly the United States.

Skavlan asked Thunberg about his brief confrontation with the US president at the UN. By the time Mr. Trump entered the room and Thunberg looked at it, he was filmed.

"He could feel the eyes behind the head," said Moore as the audience laughed.

"I was arrested because he came in suddenly and that security said:" You have to get away. " And suddenly he came in, "explained Thunberg." I think I was very shocked. "

Skavlan also asked Thunberg about Mr. Trump's tweet about him. The teenager agreed that, of course, Mr. Trump was sarcastic when he called her "a very happy girl waiting for a bright and wonderful future".

"I knew that from time to time he was probably going to say something about me," said Thunberg. "It was like, it does not make any difference, in a way."

"Skavlan" shot in New York all week, and the entire Thunberg interview will air on Friday, September 27th.
