Transcript

00:00Mr. President, in the current tariff situation,

00:07analysts have pointed out that the U.S. actually means allies.

00:11Do you consider Norway as a possible ally in this situation?

00:15I think Norway has always been an ally.

00:17They've been somebody we've been very close to, very friendly with.

00:20Maybe more so now with me than other people,

00:22but I think Norway has always been a great ally, yeah.

00:26They've always been a friend.

00:28That's a very strange question, actually,

00:30because the U.S. is our lead ally,

00:32and we build on a relationship which we will talk about now, Mr. President,

00:36but it's of high relevance,

00:38and I'm very happy that we have secular state and secular defense.

00:41So this is a very strong tie.

00:43But it was a question about an ally in the tariff situation specifically.

00:48Tariff situation?

00:50Yes.

00:51Well, we're talking about a little bit different subject then.

00:55We're talking about a different type of ally now.

00:57No.

00:58In this case, he would be very much inclined to be an ally of Norway

01:03because he wants to make the best business deal possible.

01:06And Norway and the Norwegians are great business people.

01:09They're great traders.

01:10They're a great, very smart nation, very well-managed nation.

01:14Has been for a long time, and in particular now with this leadership.

01:18But we'll be talking about trade and other things,

01:24and I think we're going to come to a conclusion very quickly.

01:27Do they go with counter fear?

01:28Yes.

01:29Do they go with Africa continues.
