Burnham Told Trump UK Will Be 'Pragmatic' About North Sea Oil and Gas Andy Burnham's phone call with Donald Trump has sparked a firestorm of debate about the UK's energy policy.
The new prime minister appears willing to "open up North Sea oil" and adopt a more pragmatic approach, which has been met with both excitement from pro fossil fuel advocates and alarm from environmental groups.
This shift is significant in light of the UK's commitment to net zero by 2050.
