The US election has been a very close race, but Wednesday morning it became clear that Mr Trump had won and will be the next President of the US.
‘Over the years, Norway has maintained cooperation with the US through changing times and different administrations. We will continue to do so. The Norwegian Government’s primary aim is to safeguard Norway’s interests. The US is important for the Norwegian economy, for our jobs, and for the security of our country,’ said Prime Minister Støre.
The Government is aware that the change of government in the US may affect cooperation in areas of importance to Norway.
‘The fundamentals remain unchanged: US involvement is essential to address global challenges and Norway seeks to further develop the excellent relations between our two countries, and these rest on a firm foundation of long-term common interests,’ said Mr Støre.
