California and Britain Team Up for Green Energy, Trump Not Happy
A Recent Deal
A recent deal between California and Britain to work together on clean energy has sparked some strong reactions. The agreement focuses on things like wind power and aims to open up California's market to British companies. But not everyone is on board with this plan.
Trump's Criticism
Former President Donald Trump had some harsh words about the deal. He said it was wrong for Britain to work with California's Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump also called Newsom a "loser" and criticized his environmental policies.
Background
This isn't surprising, as Newsom has been a vocal critic of Trump and might even run for president in a few years.
The Deal
The deal was signed by Newsom and Britain's Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. It's all about promoting clean energy technologies and expanding business opportunities.
Trump's Stance
But Trump has been pushing for more oil and gas exploration, which has put him at odds with Newsom and environmental groups.
Newsom's Response
Newsom's spokesperson fired back at Trump, saying he's "on his knees for coal and Big Oil." They also mentioned that foreign leaders are choosing California's vision over Trump's. This is a clear contrast in views on energy and the environment.
Trump's Move
Trump recently invited the oil and gas industry to suggest areas in California for potential oil and gas leases. This move has been criticized by Newsom and environmental groups, who see it as a threat to the state's ecosystems.
Davos Incident
In another interesting turn, Newsom was blocked from speaking at the official U.S. venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He blamed this on the White House, adding another layer to the ongoing tension between the two sides.
