Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to make Britain a 'clean energy superpower' But Donald Trump dismisses green energy as a “scam” and has promised to “unleash American energy” by tapping “liquid gold” fossil fuels under US soil.

Trump has taken a wholly different approach to the sector, with the US becoming the world’s biggest oil producer.

Trump has rubbished international cooperation on climate change and suggested it is a ploy by countries such as China to put America at a serious economic disadvantage.

He made a point of showing up to November ’s Cop29 conference in Azerbaijan , even as other world leaders such as Joe Biden gave it a miss.
