JAKARTA - United States President Donald Trump branded Swedish activist Greta Thunberg a troublemaker, stating he was no longer busy with environmental issues.
"He's just a troublemaker," President Trump said, referring to the Swedish activist, cited from TASS, October 8.
Greta Thunberg is known to have joined the humanitarian fleet twice to try to break through the Israeli blockade in the Gaza Strip.
In June, Greta, who is a member of Freedom Flotilla Coalition and boarded the Madleen ship, was intercepted by the Israeli military before being deported.
Earlier this month, Greta and hundreds of activists who are members of the Global Sumud Flotilla were again intercepted by Israeli officials before being deported.
"I mean, he no longer cares about the environment, now he cares about this?" said President Trump.
"He has problems managing anger, I think he should see a doctor," President Trump continued.
"He's so angry, he's so crazy," he added.
Earlier, Israel's Foreign Ministry reported the deportation of 171 Global activists Sumud Flotilla, including Thunberg, to Greece and Slovakia.
The ministry noted "all the legal rights of the participants in this humanitarian action have been and will continue to be fully enforced."
Global Sumud Flotilla, which consists of more than 40 ships from various countries, sailed from Tunisia to Gaza in mid-September. The purpose of this mission is to penetrate the blockade of the Gaza Strip and send humanitarian aid to its residents.

Israeli authorities have repeatedly stated that they consider the activists' actions provocative and will not allow their ships to approach Gaza's coast.
As a result, Israeli Navy ships intercepted the fleet, detained all 400 activists and took them to Israeli beaches. On October 3, Israeli authorities began deporting activists, expelling a total of about 170 fleet participants from the country within three days.
