OSLO (Reuters) -Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and finance minister Jens Stoltenberg will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Thursday, the prime minister's office said.
The meeting at the White House will, among other things, cover the security policy situation, NATO and the war in Ukraine as well as trade and business topics, the statement on Monday said.
"Norway and the US cooperate in a number of areas, and the US is an important trading partner for Norway. I look forward to talking about areas where we can cooperate even more closely in the future," Stoere said.
The Trump administration announced a 15% tariff on goods imported into the United States from Norway as part of a wider, global effort with trading partners around the world. In line with many other countries, the tariff has been lowered to 10% for a 90-day period.
