Donald Trump criticized a recently signed clean energy agreement between California Governor Gavin Newsom and the United Kingdom. Trump called the agreement "inappropriate" and labeled Newsom a "loser," citing concerns about California's environmental policies. The agreement, signed by Newsom and British Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, aims to foster collaboration on clean energy technologies like offshore wind and increase access for British companies to California's market. Newsom, a Democrat and frequent critic of Trump, is rumored to be considering a presidential run in 2028. A Newsom spokesperson responded by accusing Trump of prioritizing the coal and oil industries over America's future.
