Reeves rejects Trump's call to halt 'unsightly windmills'
The Independent
|August 02, 2025
Rachel Reeves has rejected Donald Trump's call to halt the spread of “unsightly windmills” in the North Sea and drill for oil instead.
The US president took aim at wind turbines within hours of landing in Scotland last week for a trip that included a meeting with Sir Keir Starmer.
But the chancellor has insisted that there is no “either/or” choice between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources on her visit to Lossiemouth on the North Sea coast in Moray yesterday.
In May Mr Trump hit out at one of the Labour leadership’s flagship strategies - net zero - when he told Sir Keir to “stop with the costly and unsightly windmills” and instead forge ahead with more drilling for oil in the North Sea.
Earlier this week he criticised Sir Keir’s taxes on North Sea oil, just hours after praising the prime minister when the two met at Mr Trump’s Scottish golf course.

Why is Gen Z so obsessed with 'almost relationships'?
Nothing is as romantic as a relationship that never quite happened. Preserved in possibility, it’s a near-miss dynamic that exists in an exclusively liminal space; you’re not quite together, but there’s enough evidence to suggest that one day, were all the stars to suddenly align, you might be. And so you cling on, wondering, waiting, hoping.
