President Donald Trump has offered economic advice to the United Kingdom, telling the country it should 'stop with the windmills' and open up oil fields in the North Sea. He blamed 'the horrible environmentalists that hurt that country so badly' for hindering energy development. The comments, made on social media, reflect Trump's long-standing advocacy for fossil fuels over renewable energy sources. This public intervention into a domestic UK policy debate continues his pattern of criticizing allied nations' energy and environmental strategies.
