Schwarzenegger to Trump: 'If you want to drill, do it off Mar-a-Lago'

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday blasted President Donald Trump's move to allow increased offshore drilling, saying he ought to drill in the waters off his Palm Beach, Fla., resort rather than California.

"Don't touch California. If you want to drill, do it off Mar-a-Lago," Schwarzenegger tweeted. "Or better yet, look to the future, follow CA's lead & go green and we can all breathe easier. The US's largest economy is nearly 50 percent renewable. #ProtectThePacific"

In a second tweet, Schwarzenegger said: "Our fishing, tourism, and recreation industries employ hundreds of thousands of great people. Our coasts are an economic gold mine. Do not put them at risk."
