		</div><p>Donald Trump urged Nigel Farage to oppose offshore wind farms at a recent meeting, it has been reported.</p>
<p>The president-elect spoke out against them when the two men met in New York shortly after the US presidential election.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has long been a critic of offshore wind farms, having fought against such a project near his Aberdeenshire golf resort.</p>
<p>According to media reports, he suggested that Mr Farage campaign against offshore wind farm developments.</p>
<p>Andy Wigmore, who was head of communications for Leave EU, was present at the meeting with Mr Trump.</p>
<p>He told the Express: &#8220;We covered a lot of ground during the hour-long meeting we had.</p>
<p>Donald Trump visiting his Trump International Golf Links at Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, last June.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;But one thing Mr Trump kept returning to was the issue of wind farms. He is a complete Anglophile and also absolutely adores Scotland which he thinks is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;But he is dismayed that his beloved Scotland has become over-run with ugly wind farms which he believes are a blight on the stunning landscape.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Last December the Supreme Court rejected Mr Trump&#8217;s challenge to an offshore wind farm project near his golf resort in Aberdeenshire.</p>
<p>His company the Trump Organisation previously lost two legal bids in the Scottish courts after ministers approved proposals for an 11-turbine scheme which Mr Trump said would spoil the view from his course at the Menie estate.</p>
<p>He took his case to the Supreme Court, where justices unanimously dismissed his appeal.<br />
Commenting on the recent discussion about wind farms, WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: <i>&#8220;One would have thought Mr Trump would have far more important issues to be dealing with.</p>
<p>&#8220;The reality is that offshore wind turbines are already making a significant contribution to the UK&#8217;s power supply. And, given that Scotland is home to a quarter of Europe&#8217;s offshore wind resource, we should be aiming to make the most of this clean power source.</p>
<p>&#8220;Addressing global climate change means transforming where we get our energy from. When given a choice the public will always support clean renewables, such as wind power, over polluting fossil fuels or nuclear power.&#8221;</i></p>
