TRUMP PRAISES NEW UK PRIME MINISTER – Burnham, has stated that he will be opening up, all the way, the invaluable North Sea Oil
U.S. President Donald Trump, on Sunday, praised Britain’s incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham, for what he said was support for expanding North Sea oil and gas production.One of his central challenges will be balancing the country’s long-term climate ambitions with the more urgent need to tackle high energy bills that have burdened households and businesses in recent years.
In that context, the future of the aging North Sea oil and gas industry has become a key domestic battleground, amplified by the U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated criticism of Starmer’s energy policies.
In a Sunday morning Truth Social post, Trump was quick to seize on a possible change, taking to his Truth Social platform to say, “the people of Aberdeen, in Scotland, are dancing in the streets” because Burnham “has stated that he will be opening up, all the way, the invaluable North Sea Oil”.
The North Sea is one of the world’s oldest offshore oil and gas basins where production has steadily declined since the start of the millennium. At the same time, it has become one of the world’s largest offshore wind regions.
