‘Andy Is Getting It Done’, Says Trump as He Claims UK ‘Opening up North Sea Oil’
Trump said the approval will make the UK “very wealthy” as ministers said Jackdaw could supply 1.6% of projected gas demand.
- On Friday, Donald Trump claimed he discussed North Sea oil with Prime Minister Andy Burnham, appearing to confuse the recent approval of gas drilling at the Jackdaw field with oil extraction.
- Burnham's government approved drilling at the Jackdaw field earlier this week to help heat millions of homes, with officials also announcing a new energy wealth fund.

- Trump stated "Andy is getting it done" and urged the UK to go "full blast" on extraction, contrasting this approach with "the previous man," Starmer, whom he claimed failed to secure similar results.
