"Their agreement is aimed at deepening existing cooperation between the UK and California and creates a new framework to scale up clean energy technologies and enhance ties between businesses and researchers in Britain and the US state, which is effectively the world's fourth largest global economy. The UK and California will also share practical expertise on protecting biodiversity and building resilience amid extreme weather, Miliband's department announced on Monday."
"Trump went on to say it was inappropriate for Newsom to strike such agreements and inappropriate for them [the UK] to be dealing with him. Newsom, one of the loudest domestic opponents of the US president on issues ranging from ICE deportation raids to the climate crisis, signed a memorandum of understanding in London with the UK's energy secretary, Ed Miliband."
Donald Trump publicly criticized a UK–California memorandum of understanding on clean energy, using derogatory language toward Gavin Newsom and calling his environmental work a disaster. The memorandum establishes cooperation to scale clean energy technologies, deepen business and research ties, and share expertise on biodiversity protection and resilience to extreme weather. The agreement was signed in London by Gavin Newsom and UK energy secretary Ed Miliband, following a previous meeting in New York. Miliband framed the partnership as strengthening opportunities for UK businesses and securing investment. Newsom and Miliband also discussed AI and lessons from California wildfires.
