President Donald Trump has publicly urged the United Kingdom to open its North Sea oil fields for drilling. In a post on Truth Social, he criticized the UK's energy policy, stating that Europe is desperate for energy while the UK refuses to tap one of the world's greatest fields. Trump claimed Norway is selling its North Sea oil to the UK at double the price and making a fortune, and he concluded with the slogan "DRILL, BABY, DRILL" and a call for "NO MORE WINDMILLS."
