Trump Pushes UK to Drill North Sea | Aberdeen News
Description
Donald Trump is hitting the brakes on UK energy policy, blasting the government for leaving North Sea oil untapped — calling it “gold” and warning that ignoring it risks national bankruptcy. His push comes as Labour’s stance begins to soften, with Mayor Andy Burnham signaling a more pragmatic approach despite the party’s election pledge against new drilling. Meanwhile, major projects like Jackdaw and Rosebank await approval amid mounting pressure from environmentalists who fear they’ll derail Labour’s net zero goals. With consultations set to close in August and final decisions pending, the UK stands at a crossroads — balancing economic opportunity against climate commitments — all while Trump’s fossil fuel fervor echoes across the Atlantic.
