Trump to host Norwegian prime minister Thursday
President Donald Trump is scheduled on Thursday to host Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store at the White House.
The pair will have lunch in the cabinet room, then hold a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office, according to the White House.
Gahr Store on Thursday said his priorities for the meeting included discussing security and defense policy, along with ways the U.S. and Norway can "contribute to a lasting and just peace in Ukraine."
"It is also natural that tariffs and trade will be a topic," he said in a social media post in Norwegian. "Norway's view is clear: We believe that increased tariffs are bad news for the world economy and a small, open economy like Norway."
