US President Donald Trump has reacted positively to reports that Andy Burnham, the incoming UK Prime Minister, may endorse new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. Trump stated that residents of Aberdeen would be 'dancing in the streets' at the prospect.
He emphasized that this move could elevate the UK from its current economic struggles to becoming 'one of the richest countries anywhere in the world.'
Trump's comments reflect a broader optimism about the potential economic impact of increased energy production in the region.
