President Donald Trump took aim at the United Kingdom over energy policy, criticizing its “costly and unsightly windmills” and urging the country to drill more for oil in the North Sea.
“Our negotiated deal with the United Kingdom is working out well for all,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday morning, referring to the recent trade agreement struck with the UK.
The simple solution is to stop looking at us.
America first or whatever they like to yell.

lol windmills and more drilling. 😀
the dude is a fake remnant of the 80s, physically and mentally, but now tag teaming with the rebranded fake remnants of the 30s/40s

I genuinely can’t wrap my head around why people see him as a strong strong leader. He constantly throws a tantrum when things not going his way, brags about how loved he is and generally bitches for no reason.

You know what? He is right! Lets all dig for oil and crash the petro-dollar once and for all!

Unsightly? Have you seen the people who vote for him? Thats unsightly.

For all other American presidents, I would be mad that they are talking about this, let alone having such a dumb opinion, with so much important shit happening in the world but with Trump I just hope this keeps him distracted for a couple of days

The UK reaaaaally should force him to sell that stupid golf course if he complains so much.

Fuck off, Donald, we don’t want to destroy the planet like you, you money grabbing criminal.

Would like to see an age breakdown of whether windmills are regarded as unsightly.
Probably don’t want them everywhere e.g. areas of oustanding beauty or iconic views of mountains etc. But there’s something futuristic + clean + peaceful seeing rolling green hills with scores of windmills spinning away, generating clean energy from the wind. It looks nice. It feels like living in a utopian future.

Yeah, we can’t spoil the view from his golf courses or use renewables instead of using American LNG…
Greenland, I’ve got a funny idea…

This is entirely consistent with his every action – that is to enrich the already wealthy at the expense of the wider community. The North Sea fields are very mature and in decline with very high costs of operation- contrast the with the Middle East where you can virtually stick a straw in the ground in Saudi and oil spurts out.
The only path to viability for the North Sea for any growth (however short lived it would be) to extract any significant reserves is if the oil cost is high – which makes energy for ordinary people more expensive (but which would benefit the shareholders of the extractors – only 5% of which are UK based – when energy costs to consumers are high).
This is Trump though. He may as well have been suggesting we start to dig up our virtually non existent coal.

Because coal mines look so much nicer

It’s sad how we were about 5cm away from not having to hear from this waste of air ever again.
I mean it’s none of his business frankly. Hasn’t he got his own country to ‘run’

New Zealand. The New New Zealand government have undone the previous government Net Zero aims and will start Drilling ASAP.

Donald Trump is unsightly and the entire world wishes he would fuck off.

It’s all a distraction again, he’s had a pop at the EU today too. There will be some kind of scandal that gets announced soon. Missing documents or a signal leak again

Hopefully the windmills and other renewables will mean we no longer have to be reliant on gas.

And a bullet would solve a lot problems.
See how the most efficient solution *right now* isn’t the best one ?

Don “Quixote” Trump
“urging the country to drill more for oil in the North Sea.”
USA is just a parasite country now. Will actively harm the planet as much as possible.
If Trump doesn’t like windmills then I shall immediately begin building one in my back garden!
He’s just a child. He got told windmills will appear near his golf course and based his entire political beliefs around it.
He got told no once, and he acts like this. Like a coddled toddler. Pathetic.
Don’t scold him. He just wants to please his boss Vladimir.
Stick them all over his golf courses
He’s been like this ever since [he lost the court case](https://www.lawscot.org.uk/news-and-events/legal-news/trump-loses-uksc-appeal-over-offshore-wind-farm-near-golf-resort/) where he wanted windmills removed because they would be ‘seen by people at his resort’
The simple solution is to stop looking at us.

Yes, Trump’s country is a lot more beautiful.

Is this really breaking News?
I just don’t get that windmill=ugly argument.
I love windmills and think they are in a weird way kinda scenics.
Countries full of them Donald, you’d hate it, you should probably never ever visit. Close your golf course as well, windmills everywhere mate.
Someone is bigly mad about the Greenland mineral deal. Also, distracting EU while Russia advances on Finland. What a dick.
