  • Donald Trump has blasted Sir Keir Starmer's decision to transition away from North Sea oil and gas production as the incoming US administration clashes with the British government.

The article from LBC discusses former US President Donald Trump's comments on UK Labour leader Keir Starmer's energy policy, particularly regarding the North Sea oil and gas sector. Trump, speaking at the Turnberry golf course in Scotland, criticized Starmer's plan to halt new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea, calling it a "big mistake." He argued that this policy would lead to increased energy dependence on foreign countries, potentially including hostile nations like Russia, and would result in job losses in the UK. Trump emphasized the importance of energy independence and suggested that the UK should continue to develop its own resources to maintain economic and national security. He also expressed his support for Brexit and his belief that the UK should leverage its own resources for economic growth.
