Trump lashes out at California governor’s green energy deal with UK
The Guardian ^ | Mon 16 Feb 2026 | Ben Quinn

Donald Trump has vented his fury against a green energy deal between the British government and California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, a likely future Democratic presidential candidate.

“The UK’s got enough trouble without getting involved with Gavin Newscum,” Trump said in an interview with Politico, using the derogatory nickname he reserves for Newsom. “Gavin is a loser. Everything he’s touched turns to garbage. His state has gone to hell, and his environmental work is a disaster.”

In an intervention that is likely to be clocked by British government officials wary of potential new landmines in the UK’s relationship with the White House, 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.

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 in effect 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.

He “lashed out” like an unhinged ICE protestor? Like a pronoun-enraged mass murderer? Like an ANTIFA trust-funder screaming at the sky?

Since when does a State of the United States have the right to conduct it’s own foreign policy?

Any state that does it has removed itself from the US and should get no federal money period. Not to mention these crackpots seceded from the US without a vote.

Take that bullet train rail and turn it into electrical conductors and connect the UK and California.

Problem Solved

Sigh, I’d like to lengthen the cute little “At the Dog Park” commercial tune and make an “It’s the Guardian” meme. Those clowns are soooooo juvenile. Britain has a lot of talent. Guardian staff is not part in that set.
