According to a report by Fox News, on Thursday April 16, 2026, In a characteristic broadside against global green energy initiatives, Donald Trump has slammed European leaders for their transition toward renewable energy, claiming the continent’s focus on wind power is a fast track to economic ruin.
Speaking on the current state of global energy markets, Trump argued that Europe is ignoring the gold mine beneath its own feet and across the Atlantic in favor of unreliable technology that he believes will hollow out their industrial base.
The core of Trump’s argument is a push for a tighter energy alliance between the United States and Europe.
With American production reaching record highs, he suggested that European nations should pivot away from their climate goals and instead secure their future through increased imports of American fossil fuels.
“They should be buying more from us and what they should be doing is using the North Sea,” Trump stated, expressing frustration that Europe is not fully utilizing its own natural reserves or the massive output currently generated by U.S. producers.
According to Trump, the solution to Europe’s energy stability is simple: scrap the complex shift to renewables and double down on the proven infrastructure of oil and gas.
Trump reserved his sharpest vitriol for wind energy, a sector that many European countries, including Germany and the UK, have spent billions developing.
He portrayed the technology not as a solution to carbon emissions, but as a direct threat to the survival of the business community.
“Windmills do ONE thing. You know what they do? Put ya out of business,” he remarked, underscoring his belief that the shift to green energy is a self-inflicted economic wound.
Despite the opportunity to partner more closely with the United States the world’s largest oil producer Trump noted with disapproval that European countries seem committed to their current course.
He mocked the visual and practical shift in the European landscape, stating, “They’re not doing it. They’re doing windmills.”…..See More
