WIND energy is an “expensive joke", Donald Trump said as he urged Sir Keir Starmer to exploit the “great asset” of North Sea oil and gas.

The US president said his “drill, baby, drill” policy had helped bring down American prices.
Prime Minister Sir Keir’s Government has ruled out new oil and gas licences in the North Sea, focusing on renewables and new nuclear power stations to keep the nation’s lights on.
At a joint press conference with Sir Keir in Chequers, Mr Trump said: “We had the worst inflation in the history of our country and we had an expression that | used a lot: drill, baby, drill.
“And as you know, we brought fuel way down. The price is way down. And we don't do wind because wind is a disaster. It's a very expensive joke, frankly, and we got our energy prices way down.
