Trump urges UK to open North Sea oil drilling

newsApr 14, 202610861

President Donald Trump urged the United Kingdom to expand North Sea oil drilling on Truth Social, writing 'DRILL, BABY, DRILL' and demanding 'no more windmills.' Independent analysis finds about 90 percent of UK North Sea oil and gas has already been drained, and new drilling would supply only 1 to 2 percent of the field's total extraction through 2050. Trump also claimed Norway profits by selling North Sea oil to the United Kingdom at higher prices. Meanwhile 11 European states committed to joint offshore wind-power projects, expanding renewable capacity in the North Sea region.
