Trump slams UK for inking green energy deal with California, labels Newsom's environmental work as ‘disaster’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom's recent agreement with the United Kingdom, which aims to enhance green energy initiatives in the state. The deal, valued at $1 billion, focuses on carbon removal projects designed to combat climate change. Trump labeled the partnership as 'inappropriate' and characterized Newsom's environmental efforts as a 'disaster.' This criticism comes amid ongoing discussions regarding energy policies, with Newsom opposing Trump's proposals for offshore drilling, which he argues could harm California's coastal ecosystem. The agreement with the UK signifies a significant step for California in its pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, attracting international investment and collaboration. Meanwhile, the contrasting views on energy policy highlight the broader national debate on climate action and energy independence, particularly as both figures seek to influence public opinion ahead of future elections.
