European wind power stocks fell on Wednesday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he would try to ensure that "no windmills" are built on his watch, criticising the sector less than two weeks before he is due to take office.

Shares in the world's two biggest offshore wind farm developers - Denmark's Orsted and Germany's RWE - as well as turbine makers Siemens Energy, Nordex and Vestas were down between 2.9% and 7.3%.
