Steven Mnuchin's wife Louise Linton posts and quickly deletes Instagram backing Greta Thunberg

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's actress wife Louise Linton shared - and then quickly deleted - an Instagram post backing Greta Thunberg instead of her husband after he told the 17-year-old activist to go to college before lecturing people on climate change.

Mnuchin took a swipe at Thunberg during a press briefing at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday over her recommendation that both the public and private sectors should divest from fossil fuels.

Linton waded into the controversy with an Instagram post on Saturday.

In the caption of a photo collage with Thunberg and Mnuchin, the 39-year-old Scottish actress wrote: 'I stand with Greta on this issue. (I don't have a degree in economics either) We need to drastically reduce our use of fossil fuels. Keep up the fight @GretaThunberg.'

Think Mnuchin threatened her?
