    LONDON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday criticised the British government's energy policy with a demand the
    country "open up" the ageing North Sea oil and gas basin and get rid of
    wind farms.

    The North Sea is one of the world's oldest offshore oil and gas basins
    where production has steadily declined since the start of the
    millennium. At the same time, it has become one of the world's largest
    offshore wind regions.

    "The U.K. is making a very big mistake. Open up the North Sea. Get rid
    of Windmills!" Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth
    Social.
