UK Energy Secretary Miliband stands by Gov Newsom climate deal after Trump backlash
"I obviously don't agree with that because we were elected to stand up for the British national interest, Miliband said in an interview at the International Energy Agency ministerial meeting Wednesday."
"The UK will work with anyone to advance British national interests, Miliband said."
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband defended a cooperation agreement between the UK and California to promote clean energy, fight climate change and protect the environment. President Donald Trump criticized the UK for making an agreement directly with a US state and mocked Europe’s push for more wind generation at Davos. California Governor Gavin Newsom sought to reassure European allies that US federal climate policy is temporary. The UK noted existing memorandums of understanding with other US states while continuing to engage the Trump administration on nuclear power. The UK contributed $16 million to the IEA Clean Energy Transitions program and hopes the US remains in the IEA.
