Trump Slams Newsom over ‘Inappropriate’ California-UK Energy Agreement

On Feb. 16, President Donald Trump denounced the California–UK clean-energy agreement hours after Gavin Newsom, California Governor, signed it in London with Ed Miliband, British Energy Secretary.
On Monday, Gavin Newsom signed a memorandum with British Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to expand cooperation on decarbonization and offshore wind, aiming to deepen research ties and open California's market to UK firms.
In comments to POLITICO, President Donald Trump said, `The worst thing that the U.K. can do is get involved in Gavin` and warned, `If they did to the U.K. what he did to California, this will not be a very successful venture.`
A UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesperson said Monday's pact is among state-level deals delivering jobs and growth, while Octopus Energy committed nearly $1 billion to California clean-energy projects.
The episode follows federal policy shifts as the Trump administration withdrew from the United Nations Framework on Climate Change earlier this year and revoked a greenhouse-gases ruling last week.
