DONALD Trump yesterday tore into Britain’s Net Zero drive and mass immigration across Europe.
The US President branded green policies a “scam” as he hit out at Sir Keir Starmer’s snub of oil and gas.
Mr Trump claimed the PM has made it “impossible” for firms to tap North Sea reserves.
Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, he warned that “between immigration and energy – if they don’t change, bad things will happen to them”.
The President said: “They don’t let anybody drill, environmentally, they don’t let them drill.
“They make it impossible for the oil companies to go. They take 92 per cent of the revenues.
“So the oil companies say, ‘We can’t do it’.”
Mr Trump has long railed against Britain’s hated Net Zero diktats — even to the PM’s face in bilateral talks.
Turning to immigration, he warned that “certain places are not even recognisable anymore”.
He also took aim at European nations importing “entirely different populations from far away lands”.
He said: “Certain places in Europe are not even recognisable, frankly, anymore. They’re not recognisable.
“And I love Europe and I want to see Europe go good, but it’s not heading in the right direction.
“The consensus was that so-called dirty jobs and heavy industries should be sent elsewhere, that affordable energy should be replaced by the green new scam, and that countries could be propped up by importing new and entirely different populations from far away lands.”
Also at Davos, Nigel Farage suggested the world would be “more secure” if the US took over Greenland.
But he said he disagreed with Mr Trump’s wish to be handed the island, citing his belief in national self-determination.
He said: “I want to make that point very, very clear.
“And I’m a big fan of the president, I’m a friend of the president, but I think it’s right to say that friends can disagree.”
While the Reform chief backed Mr Trump’s call for Nato nations to spend more on defence, he pushed back on the claim the US has never got anything back from the alliance.
Mr Farage said: “Trump said Nato have never given us anything back.
“I would object to that politely by saying this: when the decision was made to go into Afghanistan, we went in with America and the coalition of the willing.”
