Trump Criticizes California-UK Clean Energy Agreement

U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized California's recent clean energy agreement with the United Kingdom, according to Jin10. Trump condemned California Governor Gavin Newsom and cautioned UK leaders against collaborating with the Democratic governor. In an interview, Trump remarked, "The UK is already in enough trouble by getting involved with 'Gavin Newsom trash.'" He used a derogatory nickname for Newsom, stating, "Gavin is a loser, and everything he touches turns to trash. His state is finished, and his environmental efforts are a disaster." Trump added that Newsom's signing of such agreements is "inappropriate," and it is "inappropriate" for the UK to engage with him. Trump's comments came shortly after Newsom signed a memorandum of understanding in London with UK Energy Minister Miliband, pledging cooperation in clean energy technologies such as offshore wind power. The agreement also aims to expand UK companies' access to the California market and foster collaboration between research institutions across the Atlantic.
