Politico reports that Trump has slammed the energy deal between California, Britain and Trump

Reports from Politico indicate that President Donald Trump denounced the clean energy agreement signed between California Governor Gavin Newsom and the United Kingdom on Monday.

In an interview, Trump stated that it was "inappropriate for Britain" to deal with the Democratic Governor. Trump, who is Republican, called Newsom, "a loser", saying that "his state had gone to hell and his environmental work was a disaster." Newsom, an outspoken Trump opponent, has considered running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.

Newsom and British Energy Minister Ed Miliband signed an energy agreement on Monday that pledged to cooperate on clean energy technologies, such as offshore winds. It also aims to increase access to California's?market for British firms.

In an email, Newsom's spokesperson stated that "Donald Trump has his hands on the ground for selling out America's Future to China by selling coal and Big Oil." "Governor Newsom continues to lead even in his absence." "Foreign leaders reject Trump and choose California's vision of the future."

Newsom and the environmental groups have condemned the move as a threat to California's ecosystems. Newsom blamed the White House for preventing him from speaking at the World Economic Forum, in Davos Switzerland, on behalf of the United States.
