Former United States President and incoming President-elect Donald Trump has condemned the United Kingdom’s energy policy, urging the nation to abandon wind farms and expand oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

“The UK is making a very big mistake. Open up the North Sea. Get rid of Windmills!” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Friday.

According to Reuters, the region, one of the world’s earliest offshore energy hubs, has experienced a steady production decline since the early 2000s while evolving into a major offshore wind energy area.

Trump’s remarks reignited his longstanding opposition to wind energy, a stance dating back to a 2015 legal challenge against the construction of wind turbines near his golf course in Scotland.
