Beleaguered wind farm operator Orsted announced Thursday that it intends to cut up to 2,000 jobs toward the end of 2027, in a bid to become more competitive and refocus its efforts on Europe.

The company has faced headwinds this year as President Donald Trump’s administration clamped down on wind power generation in the United States.

Orsted’s shares were 1% higher in early European trade on Thursday.
