LONDON — The White House has confirmed it will send officials to a crunch energy summit in the U.K. later this month.
U.S. presence at the summit on energy security tees up a clash between European clean power advocates and the fossil-fuel path favored by President Donald Trump.
The White House would not say whether Chris Wright, Trump’s Energy secretary and a noisy critic of U.K. climate policies, would be traveling with them. He was not included on a provisional list of 26 ministers attending the summit, published in March.

On Friday, a White House official told POLITICO: “The Department of Energy plans on sending representation to the conference.”
