00:08just hours after the deal is finalized, according to Politico.
00:13The agreement commits both sides to closer cooperation on clean energy projects,
00:18including offshore wind, and aims to expand access for British companies to California's market.
00:28Trump argued that it was inappropriate for Britain to engage directly with a Democratic state governor on such matters.
00:35He also accused Newsom of mismanaging California and pursuing environmental policies he described as damaging.
00:42In response, Newsom's office accused Trump of aligning himself with oil and coal interests.
00:48The U.K. government sought to ease tensions, saying it continues to work closely with Washington
00:54and that the California agreement forms part of broader state-level partnerships,
00:59including arrangements with Florida and Texas.
01:02The dispute unfolds against a backdrop of wider strain.
01:06Trump recently invited proposals for offshore oil and gas leasing off California's coastline,
01:12a move strongly condemned by Newsom and environmental groups.
