US President Donald Trump says he was told by UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham that the UK would “open up” the North Sea for oil drilling. The reports describe the statement as Trump’s account of what Burnham said during discussions between the two leaders. Multiple outlets repeat the same core claim: Burnham would support expanding North Sea oil production. One outlet also reports that Trump frames the potential change as a route to making the UK “a wealthy country,” consistent with his public stance in support of fossil-fuel development. The articles provide limited additional detail on the timing, policy mechanisms, or whether Burnham has made a separate public statement confirming the proposal. Taken together, the sources present Trump’s comments about Burnham’s alleged position, but do not provide independent verification or further context beyond the assertion that new or expanded North Sea drilling is being considered.
