Rihanna has slammed the use of tear gas on migrants on the Mexican border by US authorities, terming it an act of "terrorism," even as US President Donald Trump defended the move on Monday.

Border Patrol agents were seen and photographed on Sunday releasing tear gas onto crowds of migrants, majority of whom were children. 

Riri took to Instagram to share a picture tweet which reported the tear gas incident and wrote, "terrorism" alongside it as the caption. Rihanna shared a post by Chris Sherman, the Mexican correspondent for the Associated Press, which said, "US Border Patrol has just launched tear gas into Mexico. Breeze carrying it hundreds of yards. Parents running away with choking toddlers. #migrantcaravan."
