## Trump urged Britain to resume oil production in the North Sea In his statement, Trump referred to the United Kingdom as a 'poor disaster country' and urged the new government to begin large-scale development of oil fields in the North Sea. According to the American president, full exploitation of these fields could turn the United Kingdom 'into one of the richest countries in the world.' He also stated that the oil reserves in the region are estimated to last for hundreds of years, with a significant portion still unexplored. Additionally, Trump criticized the UK's purchases of oil from Norway, calling such a policy 'ridiculous.' Separately, the US president spoke out against wind farms near the Scottish city of Aberdeen. In his opinion, the wind turbines spoil the appearance of the region, and the authorities could dismantle them. 'Britain has enormous potential, but it all starts with opening up oil production in the North Sea. We love you, Scotland,' Trump wrote. The last phrase drew the attention of observers, as it was interpreted as a possible hint at the growing discussions about Scottish independence.
