US EditionTrump hits out at UK over North Sea oil barriers
Trump accused UK policies of blocking North Sea oil drilling, citing 500 years of reserves and low domestic energy output as causes of high prices.
- At the World Economic Forum in Davos, US president Donald Trump criticised Sir Keir Starmer's North Sea policy, saying the UK produces only one-third of 1999 energy despite vast reserves.
- Pointing to taxation and regulation, Trump blamed environmental rules that "don't let anybody drill" and said the UK Government "takes 92% of the revenues," calling it a `green energy scam`.
- Rejecting depletion claims, Trump said the North Sea "isn't depleted" and companies say "we can't do it" because authorities prevent drilling despite untapped oil.
- Criticising Europe, Trump deepens transatlantic divides over trade, warning Europe imports `entirely different populations from far away lands` and is `not heading in the right direction`.
- In a broadly framed critique, Trump delivered an occasionally rambling address at Davos, linking his White House achievements to opposing mass migration, rising government spending, and green energy policy.
