Britain's New Prime Minister: A Mixed Bag for North Sea Oil and Global Politics The arrival of Andy Burnham at 10 Downing Street has sent shockwaves through the UK, with many eager to see what changes he will bring to his new role.
One contentious aspect of his policy agenda is his approach to North Sea oil, which President Donald Trump has enthusiastically endorsed as a means to lift Britain from its economic doldrums.
Burnham's plans for North Sea oil are still shrouded in mystery, but it appears that he will focus on increasing production within existing fields rather than issuing new exploration licenses.
