The UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, has criticised U.S. President Joe Biden’s green energy policies and said they risk pushing the world economy into the “dark ages.”

Biden approved a $369 billion package of subsidies for U.S. climate and energy businesses, but Hunt said it could lead to other countries putting up trade barriers in retaliation.
