Energy Clash: Trump vs. Newsom on UK-California Clean Energy Pact
President Trump criticized a clean energy deal between the UK and California Governor Newsom, calling it inappropriate. Newsom, known for opposing Trump, made the pact to promote clean technologies. The UK's Department for Energy Security highlighted the agreement as part of broader ties with America. Newsom opposed Trump's oil lease plans.
President Donald Trump has openly criticized the newly signed clean energy agreement between the United Kingdom and California's Governor Gavin Newsom. The pact, inked on Monday, aims to foster collaboration on clean energy technologies such as offshore wind and facilitate UK's market access to California.
In a statement to Politico, Trump labeled the UK’s engagement with the Democratic governor as “inappropriate” and called Newsom “a loser,” criticizing his governance of California. Newsom, who may seek a presidential run in 2028, has been an outspoken critic of Trump.
The UK's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero affirmed their commitment to working with the U.S., citing the California agreement as one of many with states like Florida and Texas to boost employment and growth. Meanwhile, Trump's call for new offshore oil leases in California has drawn criticism from Newsom and environmental groups.
