Donald Trump says UK is "a Poverty Stricken Disaster" on North Sea drilling

Andy Burnham has become the United Kingdom's seventh prime minister in ten years, succeeding Keir Starmer after Labour lawmakers pushed for his removal following poor local election results and sagging approval ratings. According to reports, Burnham may relax a current prohibition on new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea—a potential policy shift that drew immediate online praise from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump stated on social media that such drilling would take the nation from destitution to enormous wealth. Burnham, a former mayor of Greater Manchester, now confronts the same economic difficulties that plagued his predecessor, including high living costs and sluggish expansion.
