Former US president Donald Trump said he knew Rishi Sunak was ‘smart’.
Donald Trump has backed Rishi Sunak’s decision to delay a series of measures aimed at curbing emissions.
Former US president Mr Trump – who has railed against climate measures in his country – said: “I always knew Sunak was smart.”On his social media platform Truth Social, Mr Trump said: “Prime Minsiter Sunak of the United Kingdom has very substantially rolled back the ridiculous ‘climate mandates’ that the United States is pushing on everyone, especially itself.
Mr Sunak has maintained the UK’s commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, despite the changes to the way measures would be introduced. And he insisted that 2035 was “always the end date for the sale of petrol and diesel cars” because hybrid-powered vehicles were allowed to be on sale to that date.
